Like the Jacobean jacket, the Chieftain or Jacobite Vest is twentieth-century revival pattern, which combines an eighteenth century vest form with nineteenth-century details (such as the taches and formal button lines). It ultimately derives from the late European medieval jerkin, which would have been worn in Scotland by fashion conscious Lowlanders and no doubt combined with a kilt in the Highlands. Still, this is a striking and evocative garment, especially when combined with a ghillie shirt, and a very popular one. 

Available with either no collar – designed to show off a shirt collar below - or a high collar round the neck. 

Made with a range of pure-new wool barathea and tweed options.  

Get in contact with us if you’d be interested in a leather version.

Each jacket is made to order. The lead time is indicated in the drop-down menu. 

Made entirely in our Glasgow workshops in the heart of Scotland.
