About this collection

Finding the right kilt jacket

The jacket sets the tone of a kilt outfit. Kilt jackets are cut shorter than a suit jacket so they finish at the waist and show the sporran and the front of the kilt.

Choose a Prince Charlie jacket for black-tie events, weddings and formal evenings; it has a short front and tails at the back and is worn with a waistcoat and bow tie. An Argyll jacket has a straight hem and works day or night with a tie. Tweed jackets are the relaxed daywear option, and drummer doublets are the most ceremonial cut, often worn by pipers and drummers.

A tartan waistcoat is an easy way to add colour under a plain jacket, and tartan jackets make a statement at evening events. For the full look, browse our complete kilt outfits.

Common questions

Kilt Jackets FAQs

Why are kilt jackets shorter than suit jackets?
So the jacket finishes at the waist and doesn't cover the sporran or the top of the kilt. A suit jacket worn with a kilt looks too long and hides the outfit.
Can I wear a Prince Charlie jacket during the day?
It is traditionally an evening and formal jacket. For daytime events, an Argyll or tweed jacket is the more usual choice, although many weddings keep the Prince Charlie on all day.
What goes under a kilt jacket?
A white kilt or dress shirt, with a waistcoat under a Prince Charlie, and a bow tie or tie depending on the jacket.
How do I choose my jacket size?
Use your chest measurement and check the size notes in each product description. If you are between sizes, contact us before ordering and we will help.
