Special Doublets Highland Clans are often asked to make rather special kilt jackets or kilt doublets. We can even copy an old favourite. We have copied 19th Century Jackets that have simply worn out - and in some cases even copied the silver heraldic buttons. For instance The Achara Kilt Doublet is a magnificent reproduction of an article made for David Stewart of Achara. The style is very eighteenth century and you will notice that the doublet has no collar. Made from velvet with gilt braid.
Sheriffmuir Doublet The Sheriffmuir Kilt Doublet is a delightful old-fashioned jacket with gauntlet cuffs and a high-buttoned waistcoat. It is normally worn with lace jabot & cuffs. Alternatively some people wear a highland cravat which is less jacobean. We can offer this in Velvet or Barathea.
Regulation Doublet The Regulation Kilt Doublet is a very attractive doublet suitable for formal evening events. It is made from Velvet or Barathea Wool with satin lapels. It comes with braided epaulettes, as in the Prince Charlie Coatee. However, unlike the Prince Charlie it has braided "Tashes" (otherwise known as Inverness skirts/flaps) at the front and back which give it that extra touch of elegance.
The Regulation Doublet is so-called because at one time it was the Regulation Uniform Jacket of the Highland Regiments. It pre-dates the Prince Charlie and to many people's mind is infinitely nicer.
The Regulation Doublet is always worn with a 3 button waistcoat which can be made from the same cloth as the jacket or, if we are making your kilt, a tartan waistcoat cut on the bias.
Kenmore Doublets The Kenmore Kilt Doublet is suitable for formal evening events, both black tie and white tie. It is traditionally made from Velvet, but is now also made in Barathea Wool - or even tartan. The Kenmore Doublet is a "single breasted" jacket, worn buttoned up and without a waistcoat. It is always worn with a belt, lace jabot & cuffs. If we are making your kilt then we may be able to produce this jacket in your tartan cut on the bias.
