This stylish, formal evening jacket can be worn to all formal functions where a black tie is requested such as weddings, dances and fancy dinner receptions. The Prince Charlie was developed from older military mess jackets, but has evolved by itself as an iconic piece of Higlandwear. Our Prince Charlie Jackets and Vests are tailored in the UK using the finest quality barathea wool cloth.
- 100% 19oz Barathea Wool
- Fine lining
- Choice of epaulette styles
- Metal 'Clann na Gael' buttons, available in chrome or antique silver
- Available in a variety of colours and materials.
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 an inch-and-a-half below where the top of your kilt sits. We use this, the sleeve length and your height to work out a proportional back length for the jacket. Let us know in the instruction box if you have a specific length this must be made to.
