A Black Prince Charlie Coatee & Vest is the most popular, and it is also available in Navy and Dark Green or coloured velvets made to measure. SEMI-FORMALWEAR Argyll/Semi Jacket in Black or coloured worsted to tone with your kilt with silver buttons is a very versatile garment. There is a choice of cuffs either turn back with three buttons going across or laid on cuff with three buttons going up the sleeve, even just plain with one button - the latter is useful if you have to alter the length of the sleeve. This jacket can be dressed up or down depending on the Tie. A silver Wedding Tie, Black Funeral Tie, plain Worsted Tie to tone with Kilt, Club Tie or Bow Tie all of which cover all occasions. A Belt and Buckle, Daywear Sporran or Evening Sporran along with coloured Hose, Brogues and other accessories completes this outfit. DAYWEAR Tweed Jacket, optional Balmoral with Crest Badge ,coloured Hose, plain worsted Tie and accessories is very robust. It can be topped off with an Inverness Waterproof Cape. For casual occasions a casual jacket, rugby top or Sweater/Pullover looks the part. We stock a large range of tweeds, including the famous Macpherson hunting tweed. A very popular tweed at the moment is charcoal colours and the 4, 5 or even 6 button waistcoat to match. KILTS Ladies and Juvenile Kilts are usually made with 4, 5 or 6 yards depending on hip/seat size. We suggest children’s Kilts have a hem. Gents Kilts have 7 - 8 or 9 yards in them. Kilts can all be adjusted by several inches in the waist and hip if measurements changeover the years. Medium worsted is the usual weight for a versatile Gents Kilt, although Heavy Worsted is very hard wearing and ideal for outdoor wear. Ladies and Juveniles tend to favour the Fine Worsted as do many men who live in hot countries. Highland Dancers usually wear Kilts with lots of white in it and unlike traditional Tartans these shades change from time to time. We stock a range of these dress tartans. KILTEDSKIRTS These are often worn long by Ladies for full formal Evening Wear or they can also wear their favourite Evening Dress with a Tartan Sash. We make short Kilted Skirts for day and can make other styles of Skirts in Tartan as well. Evening kilts are usually ankle length. TARTAN EVENING , DINNER JACKETS and DAY JACKETS can also be made up to a customers own measurements and in their choice of Tartan and style.
