Why is it Called a Prince Charlie Jacket?

The Prince Charlie Jacket takes its name from Prince Charles Edward Stuart, famously known as “Bonnie Prince Charlie.” Inspired by 18th-century formal Highland dress, the jacket was later modernized into the sleek eveningwear we know today. Its association with nobility and regality is why it remains the most formal kilt jacket available.

What is the History of the Prince Charlie Jacket?

The history of the Prince Charlie Jacket dates back to the Victorian era, when Highland dress began evolving into formal eveningwear. While older styles were bulkier and military-inspired, the Prince Charlie was designed as a refined alternative to the tailcoat, making it the Scottish equivalent of a tuxedo jacket. Over the years, it became the standard choice for formal Highland dress, worn at grand banquets, royal events, and weddings.

Features

Authentic Design: Satin lapels, decorative silver buttons, and traditional cut uphold the classic Highland style.

Premium Fabric: Crafted from high-quality Acrylic Yarn or similar blends for durability, comfort, and a refined finish.

Detailed Craftsmanship: Precision stitching ensures a polished, elegant silhouette.

Versatile Pairing: Perfectly complements kilts, sporrans, and formal accessories.

Adjustable Fit: With the matching vest, it provides a snug yet comfortable fit across body types.

What Materials Are Typically Used?

Traditionally, Prince Charlie jackets are made from 100% Acrylic Yarn, known for its durability, breathability, and smooth finish. Some modern versions also include Acrylic Yarns with polyester for easier maintenance while retaining a luxurious feel. The vest is usually crafted from the same high-quality fabric to maintain consistency in appearance.

What is the Difference Between a Prince Charlie Jacket and a Regular Kilt Jacket?

While both are designed to be worn with kilts, the Prince Charlie jacket is strictly formal. It features satin lapels, ornate silver buttons, and tails at the back, similar to a tuxedo. Regular kilt jackets, like the Argyll, are less formal and more versatile, suitable for both day and evening wear. If you’re attending a wedding or black-tie event, the Prince Charlie is the premier choice.

What Are Some Popular Colors?

The traditional Prince Charlie jacket is black, making it a versatile piece that pairs with virtually any tartan. However, modern styles are also available in navy, midnight blue, charcoal, and even deep green, allowing for a unique yet sophisticated twist while maintaining formality.

What Accessories Pair Well with a Prince Charlie Jacket?

To complete the look, a Prince Charlie jacket is best worn with:

A formal kilt in your chosen tartan.

A wing-collar shirt and bow tie (or sometimes a ruche tie for weddings).

A formal waistcoat (vest) matching the jacket.

A dress sporran with a silver or fur finish.

Kilt hose, flashes, and ghillie brogues.

A belt and buckle (optional, depending on vest style).

These accessories bring the ensemble together, creating the polished appearance expected of Highland evening dress.

How Do I Measure Myself for a Prince Charlie Jacket?

Getting the right fit is essential for formalwear. To measure yourself:

Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.

Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.

Back length: From the base of your neck to the desired jacket length.

Sleeve length: From the top of your shoulder to just past the wrist bone.

Very nice kit: Beware it is NOT heavy duty plumbing pipe though!
Size: side table leg
I want to give this kit a high rating, but I need to address the "truth in advertising" bit since there may be an important disconnect between what you think you are getting and what actually comes in the box. Black plumbing used for shelving or table legs is part of an important niche in interior design. I like the industrial loft look myself and have a variety of glass, steel, and masonry elements in my home. This kit fits that look and provides plenty of "strength" for most domestic uses, like shelves or coffee tables. But they are NOT "industrial pipe" or "maximum durability pipe." Note the phrase "cast iron finish feet," which together with the other claims might lead you to think these are cast plumbing fittings. They are NOT! The feet and flanges feel like electrical conduit fittings, and the pipe sections are likely aluminum. They might be electrical or they might be multi-use, lightweight pipe. While all this might lead you to think that you're getting a truly retro, heavy-duty pipe kit made of black plumbing pipe, you are not. But, does it matter? Depends. I find the lighter pipe's smooth finish a nice "tone-down" from the rough plumbing look. All together, this kit provides plenty of strength for most furniture and the rustic pipe look, but with a nicer, lighter finish. To me that is a plus--this is a very nice kit and costs less that if you'd pieced it together from real plumbing parts (I priced it out to compare), and looks retro but cleaner. I knew what to expect because while I got this kit free on Vine, I had purchased a nearly identical kit from another seller last year. So, I'm giving it 5 stars for what it actually is and for the price, JUST BE AWARE THE NARRATIVE IS MISLEADING. Which is unfortunate because just like some people might want the heavier pipe, I'm betting more would be attracted to the look with a cleaner, lighter feel.

Strong legs, somewhat industrial but trendy also
Size: side table leg
Good legs, some what utilitarian or industrial, they are strong as they are made out of pipe, and assembly is fairly easy once you get the idea of how it goes together. They are roughly 1.5 feet across maybe a bit less adjustable height on each leg, if you have wood floors you may want to put a pad under each leg as they are full metal pipes. Pretty interesting idea and does not cost much.

Pretty good, take your time and install it well
Size: side table leg
Materials are pretty solid, but once assembled it’s not as sturdy as you would think it should be since the material itself was solid, i say give them a chance, everything out there that’s similar is way over priced

Heavy duty legs for table.
Size: side table leg
Perfect legs for a table I am having made. I have an cottonwood slice. It's heavy and needed something substantial. These are perfect.

Robust pipe & fittings with a beautiful, smooth black finish
Size: side table leg
This set of pipe & fittings for use as low table legs is heavy duty and aesthetically pleasing. Especially when the pieces are handled, the tactile sensation is much nicer than with plumbing steel pipe because this product is beautifully finished smooth. The black pipes are quite smooth as well as the fittings. The pieces are all also pretty robust, though the wall thicknesses are less than in pipe for pressurized water systems. Of course that makes sense as this product does not need to hold fluid pressure. In my view they got the heaviness factor of this product just right; it's not as heavy or robust as black pipe used in natural gas supplies, but still robust and pretty heavy. Assembled, this product is absolutely stiff and unyielding for a solid table that could hold a man's weight easily. The feet utilize a brilliant scheme so that each foot can be independently adjusted for an uneven floor. Thus a level table on an uneven floor is easily accomplished. The feet simply extend the effective leg length by screwing counter-clockwise. To prevent any shifting at the threads adding some pipe compound or teflon tape may be advised. Even masking or duct tape might work as the idea is to just fill any gaps where male threads meet female threads. The four flanges at the tops of the legs provide a wide, solid surface for attaching the table top, with either hidden screws underneath or you could through-bolt a glass table top (provided you have the skill to drill glass!). I think this product would look great with a glass top. Assembly is quick and easy. The hardest part is drilling holes underneath the table top to accept screws. No pipe wrenches are needed as the pieces screw together by hand to an adequate tightness. If any doubt whether they are tightened enough have a strong person with grippy gloves finish. The "X" in the center attaches to the legs with a very clever machine screw system tightened with the included hex wrench. This is presumably because if tightened simply by screwing the fittings, the point of snugness would not likely be where the "T" fittings are exactly vertical. The maker has solved this problem so that you are assured that all legs will be in the perfect vertical position once everything is tight. The setup is also nice and rigid once tightened. This is a huge benefit of steel pipe projects; they are really solid. The black finish is clearly very durable, like a powder coat. It appears that it will provide excellent protection against rust. Coverage is complete; I found no dings or scratches anywhere on any piece. Overall this is a very well-designed product for function and aesthetics. Perfect for a beautifully renovated warehouse condo where an industrial vibe is desired in a rock-solid table that won't shift around. The smoothness of the pipe is top notch. I've used lots of pipe in projects, some of it actual water pipe and some decorative pipe such as this. I've never seen better quality decorative pipe as this maker put in the effort to finish it beautifully smooth. At currently $34.99 I find the price quite reasonable too.
