By subtly changing the accessories worn with it, an Argyll (or Argyle) jacket can easily alter its formality, for either day or evening wear. With a flattering cut, and actual Scottish tailoring, the Argyll jacket will look great on men of all shapes and sizes. 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 Balmoral Argyll jackets are made from top quality Barathea 100% pure new wool cloth, with a single button on the front, two side vents, cuffs with 3 buttons, pocket flaps with 3 buttons, and flat cloth epaulettes. All buttons have washer and ring fittings.
When to wear it: The Argyll day/evening jacket suits almost any social occasion, such as dinners and Burns Suppers; balls, ceilidhs or other dances; weddings, graduations, or christenings; as well as Highland games or simply as general day wear.
What to wear it with: The Argyll jacket is generally worn open, with a kilt in any tartan, an argyll 5 button vest and a belt and buckle. For daytime use you might wear your Argyll jacket with an plain collar shirt and self-coloured tie plus day-wear sporran (when footwear is a matter of choice). As more formal dress for evening events it is perhaps better worn with a wing collar and bow tie or rouche plus semi-dress sporran, and ghillie brogues for shoes.
Your Choices: The classic Argyll jacket is supplied in 15oz cloth, and is available in a choice of colours.
This jacket comes with shiny silver (nickel plate) buttons.

Scotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.
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.
This jacket was not my first choice but it turned out to be an excellent jacket after all. The quality is exceptional and compliments my USAF Reserve tartan casual kilt. Thanks!

This is fine jacket and goes well with any kilt. I recommend this jacket for many formal and semi-formal occasions.

I ordered this with the vest but returned the latter because i decided i didn't need it. The jacket is well cut and fit me nicely. (6ft tall, ordered a regular fit) I wears nicely with a kilt and i recommend it.

Excellent value. Generous cut. Will order a waist coat as I believe it will enhance the overall outfit

Purchasing the above plus vest from you has been an excellent experience. Both the Jacket and waistcoat arrived in first class condition and both fit perfectly. Moreover both were delivered about 3 weeks ahead of the original estimated delivery date. The whole procedure from purchase selection through to delivery has been excellent and many other retail websites could learn a lot from yours. I have already ordered futher items (two shirts) and I have no doubt that I shall be back again soon now that the SCD season is well under way. Graham Pickering ... Exmouth
