Argyll Tweed Kilt Jacket - Made to Measure

The Argyll or 'Argyle' kilt jacket is primarily characterised by the distinctive gauntlet cuff. It usually has epaulettes on the shoulders, a one-button close, scalloped-button pockets, with a curved front to better accommodate the sporran. 

This is our fully customisable tweed option, where you can choose from our range of in-house stock tweeds, the final specifications to best suit your tastes, and sized to your supplied measurements. Colour notes:

• Charcoal & Charcoal Arrochar: These are the best all-rounders, which match well with almost all tartans, and can suit a variety of occasions. The fine-weave arrochar is especially adaptable as either formal or day wear. 
• Lovat Green & Lovat Blue: These very traditional options are well suited to match 'Ancient' colourway tartans, although can provide a light contrast to 'Modern' ones too. 
• Lomond Blue, Nary Arrochar: These darker shades match well with many 'Modern' Colourway tartans, especially those with a blue base colour. 
• Highland Green and Forest Green: the Highland is the darker shade, and is again good for 'Modern' Colourway tartans. Forest Green is slightly lighter and has a beautiful herringbone pattern - this one is mottled blue, so matches very well with any tartans with a green-blue base, of either Colourway. 
• Light Grey Arrochar: a striking modern tweed, with a fine weave, so popular as a formal tweed.

The Traditional Argyll Jacket can be worn with or without a 5 button vest and is usually accompanied with a belt and buckle set when a waist coat is not worn.

Measuring advice:

• Chest: measure around the chest at under-arm height, while wearing a shirt or t-shirt, with your arms by your side. Note that this may not correspond to your usual suit size. 
• Waist: measure around the waist at roughly naval height - in line with the top of the hips. *This is higher than where your trousers sit*. Let us know if you're wearing your kilt when you do this, as it can sometimes add to your waist or act as a girdle. 
• Sleeve length: find a suit jacket you already own that fits well, and measure from the shoulder seam down to the cuff. 
• Back length: measure from the nape of the neck (where the top of your shirt sits) to the base of the spine - where your tailbone sticks out. We use this, the sleeve length and your height to work out a proportional back length for the jacket. If you have an exact measurement for the back (ie if you've taken it from a well fitting jacket, from the collar seam to bottom) please let us know in the additional instructions box
