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.
My black Argyll jack arrived to day along with my new kilt. Like the kilt the fit is perfect and the workman ship is amazing. Thanks to all the people at scotweb.

Greetings from Australia. Here is a photo of my wife Shirley and me taken at the Melbourne Crecket Ground. This famous facility will be the main venue for The 2006 Commonwealth Games. My Argyl Jacket is a perfect fit, and in my role as a Civil Marriage Celebrant gets plenty of use. Alan Cameron Mildura Victoria

I am 6'4" tall with a 44" waist size and have always had difficulties finding proper formal wear that fit me well. When I bought this jacket I was surpised that it was long enough in the arms and was a great fit. It is of exceptional quality, I have worn it to various Royal Canadian Air Cadet formal events when not required in dress uniform and everyone liked it. At a cousin's wedding many people were wondering where I got it and for how much because they wanted one themselves! This is a superb jacket and well worth the cost. I especially enjoy the silver buttons!

Fantastic quality. I bought this to replace one from another site but the quality was really crummy and I had to send it back. But this is a joy to wear and a perfect fit and your staff were a delight to deal with. Thanks.
