Navy Blue Velvet Prince Charlie Jacket with Waistcoat | Scottish Kilt Jacket

Navy Blue Velvet Prince Charlie Jacket with Waistcoat — Scottish Formal Kilt Jacket

Bring soft, luxurious texture to a classic Highland color. This Navy Blue Velvet Prince Charlie Jacket pairs traditional Scottish tailoring with plush velvet fabric throughout. As a result, it offers a richer, more textured alternative to the navy wool version in this collection.

A Design Rooted in Highland Tradition

The Prince Charlie jacket takes its name from Charles Edward Stuart and remains the most popular formal jacket style in Highland dress today. Scottish grooms, pipers, and formal event guests wear it widely. This piece follows that tradition closely, with a soft navy velvet finish. Peak lapels frame the chest, while a cutaway tail design gives the jacket its signature silhouette.

A Rich, Textured Finish

Unlike the matte wool version, this jacket uses navy velvet throughout, adding noticeable depth and softness to the fabric. Therefore, it catches the light differently across the room and adds a more formal, evening-appropriate feel. Braided epaulettes at the shoulders and ornate silver square buttons, set with a crest-style pattern, complete the ceremonial look on both the jacket and matching waistcoat.

Premium Craftsmanship & Materials

Craftsmen build this jacket from plush navy velvet, tailored for a sharp, fitted silhouette. It holds its shape well while adding a soft, rich texture to the overall look. Peak lapels in the same velvet fabric give the jacket a cohesive, elegant finish. Additionally, the included waistcoat matches the jacket exactly, with the same silver button detailing for a fully coordinated outfit.

Styling Suggestions

Care & Maintenance

Dry clean this jacket and waistcoat only, to preserve the velvet pile and tailored structure. Additionally, store them on a padded hanger to help maintain their shape. Finally, avoid pressing directly on the velvet, since this can flatten the fabric’s texture.
