Dark Grey Wool Prince Charlie Jacket with Satin Lapels | Scottish Kilt Jacket

Black Wool Prince Charlie Jacket with Satin Lapels — Scottish Formal Kilt Jacket

Bring sharp, polished contrast to your Highland outfit. This Black Wool Prince Charlie Jacket pairs a matte wool body with glossy satin peak lapels. As a result, it offers a more formal, higher-contrast finish than the all-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 satin-faced lapels for extra formality. A cutaway tail design gives the jacket its signature silhouette.

A Sharp, Formal Finish

Unlike the self-fabric wool version, this jacket uses satin facing on the peak lapels, creating a clear visual contrast against the matte black wool body. Therefore, it reads as more formal and evening-appropriate, similar to a black-tie tuxedo jacket. 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 black wool-blend fabric, tailored for a sharp, fitted silhouette. It holds its shape well while remaining comfortable for a full evening of wear. Satin peak lapels add a formal sheen at the chest. 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 satin lapels and silver buttons stand out, keeping accessories simple and classic.

Care & Maintenance

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