Waist:

Measure around the waist at the roughly naval height

Back:

Wearing a shirt, measure from the bottom of the collar to where you want the waistcoat to sit. If this is to wear with a kilt – in line with the top of the hips. *This is higher than where your trousers sit*. Or along the waist where your trousers sit if for wearing with standard trousers.

Back Measurement:

This is a tricky measurement to take, so give us your height as well so we can check it. If you already have a well-fitting waistcoat, measure the back of that as a guide.

The traditional style of buttons are four corners, lightweight silver, which may also be the same tartan material covering buttons as well.
