Green Wool Prince Charlie Jacket with Waistcoat | Scottish Kilt Jacket

Green Wool Prince Charlie Jacket with Waistcoat — Scottish Formal Kilt Jacket

Bring classic, matte tailoring to your Highland outfit. This Green Wool Prince Charlie Jacket uses self-fabric wool lapels rather than velvet or satin. As a result, it offers a more understated, versatile finish than the green velvet 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 wool peak lapels rather than velvet. A cutaway tail design gives the jacket its signature silhouette.

A Classic, Matte Finish

Unlike the plush velvet version, this jacket uses the same green wool throughout, including the lapels. Therefore, it creates a crisper, more traditional look well suited to Highland regiments with green dress colors. 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 a structured green wool-blend fabric throughout, including the peak lapels. It holds its shape well while remaining comfortable for a full evening of wear. Additionally, the included waistcoat matches the jacket exactly, with the same silver button detailing for a fully coordinated look.

Styling Suggestions

Either way, let the tailored silhouette and silver buttons stand out, keeping accessories simple and classic.

Care & Maintenance

Dry clean this jacket and waistcoat only, to preserve the tailored structure. Additionally, store them on a padded hanger to help maintain their shape. Finally, avoid prolonged folding, since this can crease the wool fabric.
