In the world of traditional Scottish fashion, few things evoke elegance and cultural pride as does the tweed kilt jacket. At Skylarkinfantry, we blend authentic Scottish heritage with modern tailoring techniques to create jackets that don’t just complement your kilt but complete it. Whether it’s a wedding, a Highland event, or a formal dinner, our tweed kilt jackets are the perfect expression of sophistication, durability, and tradition.
What is a Tweed Kilt Jacket?
A tweed kilt jacket forms an integral part of formal Scottish wear and is always worn above the kilt. Traditionally made from high-quality wool tweed, it offers a richness in texture and natural warmth during cooler climates. Unlike the ornate Prince Charlie jackets, tweed kilt jackets are rather versatile, often worn at semi-formal and daytime occasions.
Hand-selected materials chosen for our tweed jackets at Skylarkinfantry ensure every piece speaks of authenticity, comfort, and highly refined craftsmanship. Each stitch tells you something about Scotland’s legacy-it’s a garment to call upon from the past but fitted just right for a modern man’s wardrobe.
A Touch of Heritage and Modern Style
But the tweed kilt jacket is more than just something to wear; it’s a reflection of Scottish culture. Traditionally, tweed would be weaved from pure wool and dyed with natural pigments found in the Scottish Highlands. Its rugged texture and earthy tones made wearers blend in harmoniously with their surroundings.
Skylarkinfantry follows this tradition with its tweed jackets, which are offered in weaves that range from herringbone and barleycorn to check patterns. Each design respects Scotland’s landscapes while embracing modern style. Subtle grey, deep green, and rustic brown-these colors represent timeless style in each generation.

How to Style Your Tweed Kilt Jacket
Styling a tweed kilt jacket is all about balance. Here’s how to make the most of your look:
Formal Events: The jacket will be teamed with a matching tweed waistcoat, crisp white shirt, and tie, with nice polished brogues. Add a sporran and a sgian dubh for complete Highland charm.
Semi-Formal Events: Go for a softer shirt tone, perhaps pale blue or cream in color, and a matching tartan kilt. Choose not to wear a tie for a casual yet smart look.
Casual wear: Combine your tweed kilt jacket with dark denim or chinos for a hybrid style that allows you to show your Scottish pride outside of ceremonial events.
At Skylarkinfantry, with every purchase, there is personalized style guidance on how your jacket will complement both your kilt and your confidence.
Tweed Kilt Jacket vs. Prince Charlie Jacket
It plays a different role in Scottish wear. The Prince Charlie jacket is worn to evening or black-tie events, sleek and shiny, and formal; the tweed kilt jacket brings rustic grace and versatility, suitable for outdoor and daytime gatherings.
If you are someone who just loves anything of understated sophistication with a hint of rugged character, then this tweed kilt jacket from Skylarkinfantry is your perfect choice. It never fails to connect tradition with practicality.
Scottish Heritage Honored through Craftsmanship
Every tweed kilt jacket we make is produced by careful design and devotion. Each garment is hand-cut, stitched, and finished to ensure perfect detail from shoulder contouring to the placing of the buttons.
We draw inspiration from Scotland’s rich sartorial history, where every clan and region carried a distinct tartan and tweed pattern. Skylarkinfantry keeps that spirit alive, infusing every piece with meaning, artistry, and purpose.
Perfect Fit for Every Gentleman
We understand that no two men are alike. That’s why Skylarkinfantry provides options for custom sizing and fitting. Our tailors will ensure your tweed kilt jacket sits flawlessly across the shoulders for structure without restriction. Effortless movement and refined style, the way true Scottish attire was meant to feel.
How to look after your tweed kilt jacket
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your tweed kilt jacket, here are some expert care tips:
Dry Cleaning Only: Tweed should be cleaned professionally to retain texture and structure.
Avoid direct sunlight, as it may cause the natural hues of the fabric to fade.
Store properly: hang your jacket on a broad hanger in a cool, dry wardrobe.
Brush regularly: A soft brush should be used to remove lint and keep the wool fibers fresh.
With proper care, your Skylarkinfantry tweed kilt jacket will stay fine for years, attaining more character with time on every wear.
