The Prince Charlie jacket is a timeless choice for formal events such as weddings, dinners, balls, and other special occasions. Traditionally worn with an 8-yard kilt, it also pairs beautifully with tartan trews. The classic black Prince Charlie jacket is designed to complement any tartan, making it a versatile and popular option.
This jacket, crafted from premium 15-ounce barathea wool, sits at hip length to cover the top of the kilt, creating a sharp and polished look. It features elegant braided epaulettes, satin lapels, and eye-catching square silver (nickel-plated) buttons. While three decorative buttons are displayed on each side of the front, these are not fastened. Additional buttons on the cuffs and back tails add to the jacket’s refined style.
When paired with a Cornish tartan kilt or trews, the Prince Charlie jacket looks particularly striking, enhancing the traditional yet distinctive look.
Typically worn with off-white hose, ghillie brogues, a full-dress sporran, and a bow tie or tie, the Prince Charlie jacket completes a sophisticated formal outfit.
Ex-Hire Prince Charlie Black Jacket
When measuring for your Prince Charlie jacket, we recommend allowing an extra 1" to 2" for comfort and ease of movement. For example, if your chest measures a snug 38", it's best to order a 40" jacket to ensure a comfortable fit, especially when wearing it with a waistcoat. Accurate measurements are crucial, so we suggest measuring yourself at least twice for precision. If possible, have a professional tailor or seamstress assist with your measurements.
