We consider some unconventional partition problems in which the parts of the partition are restricted by divisibility conditions, for example, partitions n = a1+…+ak into positive integers a1, …, ak such that a1 ∣ a2 ∣ … ∣ ak. Some rather weak estimates for the various partition functions are obtained.
