Traditional Prince Charlie Outfits for Formal Events
We’ve been making Prince Charlie outfits at Kilt and Kilts since 2009. You’ll see our Highland dresses at evening weddings, military dinners and any event where the dress code says “Highland Evening Dress.” The jacket has that distinctive cut away front with satin lapels, the vest sits just right under it and the kilt is pleated to move naturally when you’re on your feet all night. Get the fit wrong and you’ll feel it by hour three. Get it right and you’ll forget you’re wearing formal attire.
We stock 165 tartans, everything from rare clan patterns to modern neutrals. We’ll help track down your family tartan. Need something that works for corporate events? Our grey and navy patterns look sharp without screaming “costume.”
Why Choose Our Prince Charlie Jacket and Vest
The difference comes down to materials and construction. When you shop Prince Charlie jacket and kilt from our men’s kilt collection, the jacket’s made from proper barathea wool sourced from Yorkshire mills. Not the synthetic stuff that goes shiny after a few wears. Each kilt outfit gets checked at 14 points before it ships. We’ve done this for over 2,800 customers in 35 countries. Pipe majors wearing our outfits have won international competitions. Wedding parties have worn them at Edinburgh Castle. Takes us 6-7 weeks from order to delivery and that timeline hasn’t slipped in years. If you’re trying to figure out what formality level you need for your event, we’ve probably dressed someone for the same occasion.
Custom Fitted Traditional Prince Charlie Kilt Outfits
We need 12 measurements to get your fit right. Chest, waist, the drop between them, back width, sleeve length the works. We’ve got measurement guides with photos. When you buy Prince Charlie kilt waistcoat as part of the package, here’s what shows up black barathea jacket with chrome thistle buttons and those cut away fronts, five button vest with back straps you can adjust and your kilt pleated from 7.5 yards of tartan. Plus the formal sporran with Celtic detailing, a 2-inch belt, wool hose and flashes. Want to complete it? Add a Marcella shirt, silk bow tie, silver kilt pin and ghillie brogues. Everything follows formal Highland dress rules, not someone’s best guess at what looks Scottish.
Occasions to Wear Your Traditional Prince Charlie Waistcoat
This outfit’s built for serious formal events. St. Andrew’s Society dinners, evening weddings after 6 PM, military balls, competition piping, anywhere the invitation specifies Highland Evening Dress. The structured cut and refined details signal you understand the occasion. Casual Highland wear doesn’t cut it at these events and regular formalwear doesn’t either.
You’ll get years out of this. Customers tell us they’ve worn theirs to anniversary dinners, their kids’ weddings, induction ceremonies, Highland gatherings across multiple countries. The styling doesn’t go out of fashion. Look at photos from 30 years ago, Prince Charlie outfits still look right. That’s what you want from formal attire you’re investing in.
