Our three button waistcoat is suitable for wearing with a Prince Charlie Jacket or Regulation Doublet. Our jackets are made from pure wool to give a luxurious feel.
Features:
Fine lining and waist adjuster (cinch). Our tailors can use black jacquard, match the base colour in the tartan, or something more unique. Just let us know if you have a specific request.
A variety of button and lapel options, including imitation horn in black or brown and several styles of metal. You can also give us details of anything special you would prefer.
Available in a range of different colours of barathea, tweed and velvet.
Measuring advice:
Chest: measure around the chest at under-arm height, while wearing a shirt or t-shirt, with your arms by your side.
Waist: measure around the waist at naval height, regardless of whether these are to go with a kilt or trousers (we need to know the widest part to help shape the waistcoat).
Back length: wearing a shirt, measure from the bottom of the collar to where you want the waistcoat to sit. This is a tricky measurement to take, so give us your height as well so we can check it.
Let us know if the waistcoat is for wearing with a high-waisted kilt or trews or low waisted conventional trousers.
