The Brian Boru Kilt Jacket is a variant of the Prince Charlie, designed to give a distinctive look to Irishmen wishing to wear a kilt. Our Brian Boru Jackets and Waistcoats are tailored in Scotland using the finest quality 19oz barathea wool cloth. This stylish, formal evening jacket can be worn to all formal functions where a black tie is requested such as weddings, dances and fancy dinner receptions. Brian Boru was High King of Ireland, who came close to unifying all of the island under one figurehead, but was killed in his moment of victory at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014.
This Brian Boru Jacket is a higher cut than an Argyll jacket and is completed with a 3 button evening waistcoat.
