Balmoral Classic Prince Charlie Jacket and Vest in 4 colours
A classic Prince Charlie jacket and vest from the name you know you can trust. Impeccable Scottish tailoring from an internationally respected producer.
Show them how Scots do 'black tie'! This formal, but timelessly stylish, jacket is the last word in sophisticated highland dress. Cut slightly higher than other jackets, the Prince Charlie is designed to flatter any shape whilst keeping the full length of kilt on display. Rest assured this isn't a budget import - Balmoral Kilts and Highland Dress is respected worldwide as one of the finest producers of specialist Scottish tailoring.
How we make it:
Our Prince Charlie jackets and vests are made from top quality Barathea 100% pure new wool cloth. The lining is made from silk and the lapels from satin to complement a formal look. Our jackets are designed in such a way to allow for regular cleaning without any reduction in the quality or look of the jacket unlike many inferior jackets that you will find elsewhere. This will make your Balmoral jacket a lifetime purchase.
When to wear it:
The classic Prince Charlie 'Coatee' Jacket and Vest (waistcoat) is the traditional outfit for black tie formal evening wear events such as dinners, balls, or dances. Today, however, it is also widely worn at daytime weddings, by the groom and his ushers as well as by male wedding guests, as well as special events such as graduations.
What to wear it with:
The Prince Charlie is traditionally worn with an 8 yard kilt in any tartan, kilt hose, and ghillie brogues. You should properly wear a Full Dress Sporran with the Prince Charlie (and vice versa). To complete the look wear a black bow tie, though today you can choose a rouche or cravat if you are wearing it with an argyll 5 button vest for a more fashionable look. Most people do not wear a belt with the Prince Charlie, as the buckle can cause the vest (waistcoat) to lie badly, and is mostly hidden in any case. For a full list of complimenting accessories see our Classic Prince Charlie kilt outfits.
This jacket is available in five different colours, has the popular satin lapels, braided epaulettes and comes with shiny silver (nickel plate) buttons.

I had rented a Prince Charlie for the first 8 years that I owned a kilt. When I finally decided to buy one I'm thrilled that I ended up here. The quality of the jacket and vest is just top notch. I work for a men's clothing company and I get compliments on it all the time. I'm very happy with everything.

The Prince Charlie is outstanding and looks great! I recently wore it to the annual Clan Macpherson gathering and ball and it felt and looked awesome! The 15oz weight is superb!

Perfect fit...I thought I might have to have some alterations done as it was a "long" but I was pleasantly surprised. Can't
wait for Burns Supper to show it off!

The prince Charlie Jacket arrived with plenty of time to spare for our Black Tie affair thanks to the help of your very pleasant, and knowledgeable customer service Adele. It is of excellent quality, workmanship and fit. We saw many jackets and none came close to the way this one is made. We wasted so much time looking around for one in California, we should have ordered it from Scotweb to begin with. It is just gorgeous.

The jacket and vest fit well and looks great when worn. It appears to be made with high quality material and construction. The price was very reasonable and the service was excellent.
