Scottish Kilt Jackets, Doublets & Vests – Traditional Highland Wear Collection

Scottish kilt jackets and vests are an essential part of completing a classic Highland outfit. Whether worn for weddings, formal dinners, cultural ceremonies, or traditional celebrations, the right jacket adds structure, elegance, and authenticity to your kilt. From versatile Argyle Jackets to formal Prince Charlie Jackets, historic Doublets, and classic Kilt Vests, each style serves a unique purpose. Crafted using premium materials and traditional tailoring methods, these garments reflect centuries of Scottish heritage while offering modern comfort and durability.

Argyle Jackets – Classic and Versatile Highland Style

Argyle Jackets are one of the most widely worn jackets with kilts due to their versatility. Suitable for both formal and semi-formal occasions, this jacket style features clean lines, decorative cuffs, metal buttons, and shoulder epaulets. Argyle Jackets are commonly paired with matching kilt vests to create a balanced and polished look. Made from fabrics such as tweed or barathea, they are ideal for daytime weddings, formal gatherings, and traditional Highland events where a refined yet practical appearance is required.

Prince Charlie Jackets – Formal Scottish Elegance

Prince Charlie Jackets are the preferred choice for black-tie and evening wear. Recognized by their satin lapels, silk collars, and distinctive tails at the back, these jackets offer a sharp and elegant silhouette. Traditionally worn with a waistcoat and bow tie, they are perfect for formal weddings and ceremonial occasions. For a more modern approach, Prince Charlie Jackets can also be styled with a five-button vest and a ruche or straight tie, allowing flexibility while maintaining traditional charm.

Doublets Clothing – Timeless Heritage Design

Doublets are deeply rooted in Scottish history and have been worn with kilts since the 16th century. These jackets are shorter than modern styles and feature a fitted, button-front design that creates a bold and traditional look. Often made from luxurious fabrics like velvet or brocade, doublets are commonly worn at weddings, ceilidhs, and cultural events. Their historic design makes them a popular choice for those who want to honor authentic Highland traditions with confidence.

Handmade Doublets – Premium Craftsmanship and Fit

Handmade Doublets represent the finest level of Scottish tailoring. Each jacket is made to order, using high-quality fabrics and precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit. Skilled craftsmanship allows for custom details such as embroidery and decorative finishes, making every handmade doublet unique. These jackets are ideal for formal and prestigious events where individuality, elegance, and superior construction matter most.

Kilt Vests – Completing the Highland Outfit

Kilt Vests, also known as waistcoats, are an important layer in traditional Scottish attire. Typically worn under Argyle or Prince Charlie Jackets, they add depth and structure to the outfit. Kilt Vests are shorter than standard waistcoats and are available in tweed, velvet, and other premium fabrics. They can also be worn on their own with a kilt for a more modern and relaxed look, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

How to Choose the Right Kilt Jacket

Choosing the correct jacket depends on the occasion and personal style. Argyle Jackets offer flexibility for day and evening wear, Prince Charlie Jackets are best suited for formal night events, and Doublets provide a strong historical statement. Adding a well-fitted vest enhances the overall appearance. Proper tailoring ensures comfort, balance, and confidence, allowing the jacket to complement the kilt rather than overpower it.

Care and Maintenance of Scottish Kilt Jackets

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of kilt jackets and vests. Most jackets made from tweed, velvet, or barathea should be dry cleaned to preserve fabric structure and detailing. Always store jackets on sturdy hangers to maintain their shape and avoid creases. Keep garments in a breathable cover when not in use and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight. Regular gentle brushing helps remove dust and keeps the fabric looking fresh and refined.
