Nice looking Kilt and Jacket, John.

Do they offer custom sleeve lengths?

I like the jacket, too, and I also like the idea of needing a jacket. There are 97 Fahrenheit degrees at my house today. I'd like to send 40 of them somewhere else.

Hi Tom.

I don't know but if you contact the seller through his ebay store he's called Barry Lyndon and he trades on Ebay Germany as well as Ebay US. The items he sells are made in the far east and to stock sizes as far as I know but I'm sure he'd be able to help you out. I would imagine his sources are versatile enough to cater for custom adjustments... Don't quote me though.

These chaps at Soldier of Fortune are another option as well, if a little more expensive (navigate on the left hand side pop-outs to British WWII > Clothing > Battledress ) and I'm told by people who know (and care) that this version of the 1937 officer pattern BD is a bit more period accurate than mine. You may want to contact them about tailored adjustment first too.
