The Argyll is a traditional one-button fastening kilt jacket, with gauntlet cuffs and scalloped pockets. It is the standard day-wear kilt jacket and versatile for a variety of semi formal or formal occasions. This iconic jacket has been the gold standard in Highlandwear since the nineteenth century.
This jacket can be worn with or without a five button waistcoat, but is usually accompanied with a belt and buckle set when a waistcoat is not worn.
Our jackets are made from 100% 19oz Barathea Wool to give a luxurious feel.
Features:
- Plain or Braided epaulettes
- Imitation horn buttons available in black or brown; or polished 'Clann na Gael' or Irish Harp metal buttons, available in chrome or antique silver
- Traditional one button fastening
- Traditional three-button gauntlet cuff
- Internal pocket
- Available in Black (as shown), Bottle Green, Rifle Green, Minch Blue, Navy Blue or Red.
Measuring advice:
- Chest: measure around the chest at under-arm height, while wearing a shirt or t-shirt, with your arms by your side.
- Waist: measure around the waist at roughly naval height - in line with the top of the hips. *This is higher than where your trousers sit*. Let us know if you're wearing your kilt when you do this, as it can sometimes add to your waist or act as a girdle.
- Sleeve length: find a suit jacket you already own that fits well, and measure from the shoulder seam down to the cuff.
- Back length: measure from the nape of the neck (where the top of your shirt sits) to the base of the spine - where your tailbone sticks out. We use this, the sleeve length and your height to work out a proportional back length for the jacket. If you have an exact measurement for the back (ie if you've taken it from a well fitting jacket, from the collar seam to bottom) please let us know in the additional instructions box
