Size Guide: Refer to our full size guide in our product photos for further measurements. If you are in the middle of 2 sizes (e.g. 42"), then we recommend getting a size depending on how you will style the garment. Choose the bigger size if you will layer it with other items or the smaller one if you want a more fitted look.

How to Measure Your Waistcoat Size: Properly measuring yourself can ensure you get that perfect fit you should expect from Walker & Hawkes. You will need either a measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler. Keep your arms down by your side and wrap the measuring tape or piece of string beneath your arms around the fullest part of your chest. Mark the spot where the two ends meet around your chest (ensure it is firmly wrapped around). If you are using a measuring tape, note down the measurement in inches. If you are using a string, straighten out the string that was wrapped around your head and measure using the ruler. If your measurement is in CM, you will have to convert it to inches (divide by 2.54).

A Brief History of Harris Tweed: Harris Tweed was first woven as a necessity in the 1800s. People wanted to create a fabric which was warm and durable, to help workers in the cold climate of Scotland. It ended up becoming so useful, people started using it as currency to buy things like food and rent! As Alexander 6th Earl of Dunmore inherited the Isle of Harris, mainland manufacturers turned to machines to craft their Tweed. The islanders in the Outer Hebrides maintained their traditional hand process. Unfortunately, Alexander passed away in 1843, leaving the responsibility of the Hebridean Island to his wife, Lady Catherine Herbert. Lady Catherine was a driving factor in the popularity of Harris Tweed. She saw the potential this fabric had and committed herself to sell it to her wealthy friends. Harris Tweed quickly became highly sought after by high-class social circles. Since then, Harris Tweed has become a global success. It is used by almost everyone, from royalty and Hollywood icons to farmers and outdoorsmen.
