About
Show them how Scots do 'black tie'! This formal and timelessly stylish jacket is the last word in sophisticated highland dress. Cut slightly higher than other jackets, the Prince Charlie is designed to flatter any shape whilst keeping the full length of kilt on display. Rest assured this isn't a budget import - Balmoral Kilts and Highland Dress is respected worldwide as one of the finest producers of specialist Scottish tailoring.
How we make it: Our Prince Charlie jackets and vests are made from top quality Barathea 100% pure new wool cloth with the lapels made from satin to complement a formal look. Our jackets are designed in such a way to allow for regular cleaning without any reduction in the quality or look of the jacket unlike many inferior jackets that you will find elsewhere. This will make your Balmoral jacket a lifetime purchase.
When to wear it: The classic Prince Charlie 'Coatee' Jacket and Vest (waistcoat) is the traditional outfit for black tie formal evening wear events such as dinners, balls, or dances. Today, however, it is also widely worn at daytime weddings, by the groom and his ushers as well as by male wedding guests, as well as special events such as graduations.
What to wear it with: The Prince Charlie is traditionally worn with an 8 yard kilt in any tartan, kilt hose, and ghillie brogues. It is also traditional to wear a Full Dress Sporran with the Prince Charlie (and vice versa). To complete the look wear a black bow tie, though today you can choose a rouche or cravat if you are wearing it with an argyll 5 button vest for a more fashionable look. Most people do not wear a belt with the Prince Charlie, as the buckle can cause the vest (waistcoat) to lie badly, and is mostly hidden in any case. For a full list of complimenting accessories see our Classic Prince Charlie kilt outfits.
This jacket is available in four different colours, has classic satin lapels, braided epaulettes and comes with shiny silver (nickel plate) buttons.

As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.

Magnificent!!!!! I bought this for my wonderful husband,It is a shame he had to wait till he married a soft southerner to get his kilt.We have to import our husbands as well as kilts.However the product is lovely it is true you get what you pay for. The cut is perfect ,the wool feels comfy and don't tell him but I think he looks very dashing in it.Would and have bought from you again ,service and delivery second to none .Thank-you for making my home sick Scot very happy.
