Choose The Right Style
Different jackets work better for different occasions, so it’s worth thinking about how and where you will be wearing yours.
Prince Charlie Jackets
The Prince Charlie jacket is one of the most recognisable items in traditional highlandwear. It is usually worn with a matching waistcoat and bow tie, creating a formal look that is particularly popular for weddings and black tie events.
Argyll Jackets
The Argyll jacket has a slightly more relaxed feel in comparison to the Prince Charlie, making it a versatile choice for weddings, dinners and other occasions that call for dressing up without going fully formal. Also worn with the apporpriate waistcoat.
Tweed Kilt Jackets
For something more relaxed, a tweed kilt jacket offers a popular alternative to traditional formal jackets. Tweed is an excellent option for those attending daytime weddings or less formal occasions.
Customise Your Highlandwear
If you want something that is completely your own, our Signature Design service gives you the opportunity to create a fully bespoke jacket and waistcoat combination with our expert stylists.
You can select your tartan or fabric, lining, buttons and finishing details, including cuffs and stitching, to reflect your personal style. Your signature jacket and waistcoat can then be paired with your choice of tartan, creating a look that is unique to you!
Waistcoats
A waistcoat adds structure to your highland outfit and creates a more finished look. Depending on the style of jacket you are wearing, you can choose a traditional waistcoat or a more contemporary option.
For example, those wearing a Prince Charlie jacket should pair it with a Prince Charlie 3 Button Kilt Waistcoat to create a more formal look. For more relaxed weddings and occasions, any of our tweed waistcoats can be paired with their matching tweed jacket.
Tartan Waistcoats
A tartan waistcoat is a great way to bring your highland outfit together. It can tie your jacket and kilt into one cohesive look, whether you choose to match your tartan or use complementary colours.
Our tartan waistcoats are made from 100% worsted wool, and there are over 4000 tartan options here at MacGregor and MacDuff. You can also choose from different button and lining options to add your unique finishing touch.
Each waistcoat has a peaked bottom and a rear cinch belt, allowing you to adjust the fit to your own preference.
