Prince Charlie jacket is maybe the most well known of all of the different sorts of kilt jackets available. It tends to be the one that most people go for when they are looking for a kilt jacket to wear as evening wear or formal wear. This is because these jackets are the most fashionable and regal jackets that can be worn with a kilt as they show off your kilt’s style and pattern in a way that cannot be accomplished by any other style of jacket.

Prince Charlie jackets come with a vest or waistcoat. They typically come in black, but there are a number of ways that these jackets can be made. A lot of kilt wearers tend to complement their kilts with these jackets by giving their lapels colorful details to match their kilt color or tartan. They can come in other colors, too, such as a full-bodied royal blue.

The main thing about a Prince Charlie jacket is that it is tailored to look perfect on its wearer, and it features silver-toned buttons on the arms of the jacket, the tails, and the front. These buttons are arranged in a certain pattern that is easy to recognize from a distance, helping to offset the kilt in a handsome manner. Because it is so heavily decorated, you will typically only see Prince Charlie jackets being worn to formal events like dinners and weddings.

The waistcoats of the Prince Charlie jackets come with three buttons that match the silver ones on the jacket. The waistcoat comes with just as much of an ornate design as the jacket, not just with the buttons but with the satin lapels. Typically, it has silk braided epaulets and satin lapels.

Prince Charlie JacketEven though deep blue and black Prince Charlie jackets are the most common, you can get them in the same tartan as your kilt or in any other color you like. Some people choose a solid color that complements or contrasts with the kilt for a bolder look. These Prince Charlie jackets are made out of pure, heavy worsted wool that is known as barathea and are ultra comfortable to wear. They come in different weights, including the most popular varieties of 13-ounce and 15-ounce fabrics.

Furthermore, they are perfect for wear because if there are any creases that occur while sitting or bending, they will easily smooth themselves back out automatically. There are pockets on both sides of the interior of the jacket, but they are more for show than for actual use as they can mess up the look of the jacket. They are typically worn with a wing collar shirt and a bowtie or a Victorian collared shirt and a ruched tie.

Prince Charlie jackets are a must for any kilt wearer for formal events. Not only are they popular and stylish now, but they will never fall out of trends, so be sure you have one or more ready and waiting.
