Do you
really like to wear your hand-made kilt?
Do you wear it all year - like I do - and not just to Burns Night or the
occasional festival?
Are you an "off the rack" bloke who grabs a jacket and make it look
made for you? No?
Well neither am I.
Then you need a bespoke-tailored and hand-made
Kilt Jacket and Waistcoat to wear with your fine hand-made kilt.
Our first prototype arrived, and
I was not disappointed.
See the
photos of it and feel free to drool. I did.
Custom (bespoke) tailored, in the European tradition but here in North
America. It is a more modern version of the Argyll or Crail jacket and waistcoat with all
the special details you could ever want. And tailored to fit
YOU, not everyone else who's a 44-Long.
See the next one, this one is in a similar
brown herringbone and I'm wearing the Muted Old Sett Buchanan kilt.
The jackets both have a front breast pocket,
plain epaulettes, two flap pockets, a single front button, and
single buttons on the sleeves. These are all personalised details.
In back there is a double cut flap, and a felt
collar liner, and the jacket tail ends just at the "flare" of the kilt
pleats.
Inside there are two breast pockets both buttoned, plus a pen pocket
and a watch pocket on the left. Note the detail of the fully lined soft
satin and wool even inside the jacket sleeves.
The
Waistcoat has five buttons, and two flap pockets matching the jacket,
in the Argyll style.
Both fit perfectly - fully tailored, quality, well-made jackets for
semi-formal and everyday wear.
Did you want an Argyll or Prince
Charlie cuff instead, or braided epaulettes, no problem.
In fact, any style issue or variant is an option when making your
customised clothing.
Or maybe you'd like a tailored ancient doublet, a
Montrose or Sherrifmuir from the pages of
the history books, and still as smart to wear today as two centuries ago.
Want a different woollen fabric than this or different buttons - just pick
and send your own or let us make suggestions. We have some good British
sources for these items, and Scottish tweeds.
Be one of the first to have that "High Street" tailored look, and
see why men go to all that bother for the right fit.
As with all specially tailored items, measurements are vital, and there
are no returns allowed.
We strongly recommend you use a tailor for your measurements, and take
the diagram
along for them to refer to, when preparing for your order!
Estimated wait is 8 - 12 weeks from order, arrival of materials and settlement of details.
