Trews Measurements

Jacket

With the help of a friend it's easy to take your Trews measurements. It is not advisable to take your own measurements.  Please use a tailor's cloth measuring tape - a steel tape measure will produce weird and wonderful results!  Simply complete the form below and submit your measurements and details to us instantly online.

The traditional highland jacket and waistcoat is short cut and does not come as low as a modern suit jacket.  Therefore trews need to be high waisted so as not to leave an unsightly gap in between your trews and your waistcoat. 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Accurate measurements are essential and we rely on these to satisfy your order.  Once you have all the measurements do it all again and check that the results agree.
Waist
Traditional Trews are high waisted garments. The waist measurement will be greater than a standard trouser waist.

 Trews Measurement

Diagram

inches

cm
Waist - Wearing a shirt stand in a relaxed position with your arms loosely by your side, measure around the waist between the bottom of the rib cage and the top of the hip bone.  The tape should not be too tight - you should be able to insert a couple of fingers under the tape.

Trews and kilts are worn higher than most trousers today and the waist size will not be the same as your trouser waistsize !

W
Seat - This is the measurement around the widest part of the seat (all the way round the buttocks). The tape should not be too tight - you should be able to insert a couple of fingers under the tape. H

Outside Leg -   If you have a kilt belt (or any other belt which is about 2  inch wide) then put this on over your shirt (without trousers) and place it so that the bottom of the belt is just above your hipbone.  Measure from the top of the belt down the outside leg seam to required length.  If the belt is less than 3 inches then you will need to add the difference to this measurement.  eg for a 2inch belt add 1 inch.

 OL

Inside Leg -  Wearing a comfortable pair of trousers adjusted to the desired position (pulled well up) and standing with your legs slightly apart, measure from top of leg seam at crutch to required length.

 IL

Leg Bottom  This will be cut to a standard 18inches unless you specify otherwise.  This is the circumference of the trouser.
