Note on measurements:

Allow at least 1′′ or 2′′ for comfort and movement when measuring your jacket and waistcoat. For instance, if your chest measurement is a snug 38′′, get a 40′′ jacket. When wearing the jacket and waistcoat together, the extra room will allow for more comfortable body movement. Re-measure at least twice to ensure your measurements are accurate. If at all possible, have a tailor or seamstress take your measurements.
