Kilt and tartan waistcoats are essential components of traditional Celtic attire, offering you the choice of styles for various occasions.
Kilt waistcoats are designed to be worn as part of the kilt outfit, and these waistcoats are tailored to accentuate your physique while adding a layer of sophistication to your outfit. Kilt waistcoats tend to be in solid colours, such as black, charcoal, or navy, although we have lots of tweed and patterned options to choose from. They pair effortlessly with a wide range of tartans, allowing the kilt to remain the focal point of the outfit.
Tartan waistcoats are crafted to be worn with either kilts or trousers, representing familial clans, regions, or associations. This makes them a meaningful choice for those wishing to honour their lineage or express pride in their heritage. Wearing a tartan waistcoat is a more convenient way to express your Scottishness, without the need for a full kilt outfit.
Both styles are typically made from high-quality materials like wool or tweed, ensuring durability and comfort. Details like embossed buttons and adjustable backs add a refined touch. Whether worn with a full Prince Charlie jacket or on their own with a kilt, these waistcoats embody timeless style and cultural pride.
