When to wear it:The classic Prince Charlie 'Coatee' Jacket and Vest (waistcoat) is the traditional outfit for black tie formal evening wear events such as dinners, balls, or dances. Today it is also widely worn at daytime weddings, by the groom and his ushers as well as by male wedding guests, as well as special events such as graduations.

What to wear it with:The Prince Charlie is traditionally worn with an 8 yard kilt in any tartan, kilt hose, and ghillie brogues. It is also traditional to wear a Full Dress Sporran with the Prince Charlie (and vice versa). To complete the look wear a black bow tie, or choose a rouche or cravat if wearing it with an argyll 5 button vest. Most do not wear a belt with the Prince Charlie, as the buckle can cause the waistcoat to lie badly. For a full list of complimenting accessories see the Classic Prince Charlie kilt outfits.

This jacket has classic satin lapels and braided epaulettes and comes with shiny silver (nickel plate) buttons.
