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 This item is made to order in our own tailoring workshop in Glasgow. Lead time is indicated in the drop-down menu. It is recommended, where possible, to take your waist measurement over your kilt. However, if this is not possible we can factor this in.
