Our double breasted tartan waistcoat can be created to your desired look. Features as standard:
Fine lining and waist adjuster (cinch). Our tailors can use black, match the base colour in the tartan, or go with something more unique. Just let us know if you have a specific request.
A variety of button 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.
Optional lapels
Available in the Tartan of your choice, with the widest selection on the market.
Let us know your usual jacket size and whether you will be wearing these with a high-waist kilt/trews, or low-waist trousers and we'll make to whichever length. But if you're unsure, leave a note of your chest and waist sizes in the instruction box - your height will also help us work out what you need if you're unsure. Please note, it's always worth checking your actual chest measurement against your jacket size, as they can often vary. The waist size we need is around your belly button, NOT your trouser size.
This item is made to order in our own tailoring workshop in Glasgow. Lead time is indicated in the drop-down menu above.
