Black Isle Argyll Jacket Kilt Outfit
The Argyll is the most adaptable jacket in Highland dress, and this version brings it to life in dark tweed. The Black Isle Argyll Jacket Kilt Outfit pairs a near-black tweed Argyll jacket and waistcoat with a dark tartan kilt. It is a smart, traditional Scottish outfit for men that moves easily between daytime ceremonies and evening events.
The Argyll Cut
An Argyll jacket is cut short enough to show the sporran, with decorative buttons on the cuffs and a slightly less formal feel than a Prince Charlie. In tweed, it keeps that versatility and adds texture. The listing gives the jacket material as wool, with the fabric described as 100% pure tweed wool. The photo shows the jacket with a matching waistcoat, a dark tie and a pocket square.
Measuring for Your Jacket
The jacket is tailored to five measurements. Ask someone to help and measure over a shirt:
- Neck: around the base of the neck, where a shirt collar sits.
- Shoulder width: across the back, from one shoulder point to the other.
- Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms.
- Sleeve: from the shoulder point to the wrist bone.
- Back length: from the base of the collar to where you want the jacket to finish.
The size guide in the gallery shows each one. Very large chest and sleeve sizes carry a small surcharge.
The Kilt
Your kilt is made in acrylic wool to your waist and kilt length, with optional hip/seat and fell measurements. It is finished with a triple-fringed apron, 100% leather straps, rust-free buckles (Silver, Antique, Black or Gold), a cotton lining, belt loops and about two inches of waist adjustment. Pleats are to the sett, with stripe pleats for $20 and a hand-twisted fringe for $50. Choose the pictured tartan or any of more than 1,600 others.
Included and Optional Items
Included at no extra charge: shirt, leather or dress sporran, kilt pin, fly plaid brooch, kilt flashes, leather belt and buckle, kilt hose and ghillie brogues.
Paid extras: matching tartan tie, bow tie, cummerbund, fly plaid or hat ($20 to $40 each) and Rush Order ($70).
Wearing It
For a wedding, a white shirt with a dark tie and a dress sporran looks sharp. For a formal dinner, switch to a bow tie. For a clan gathering or Highland games, a Ghillie shirt and leather sporran relax the look. Because the jacket is so dark, a bright tartan creates a striking contrast, while a dark tartan, as pictured, gives a sleek, tonal finish.
Care
Dry clean the tweed jacket and waistcoat. Hand wash the kilt in cold water, avoid harsh chemicals and hang it to dry.
