Buying the best of Scotland

The Fabric

We use a top quality lightweight 10oz, pure wool plaid fabric woven in Scotland to make your jacket. A more heavy weight plaid fabric can be used if you prefer, however this will incur additional charges.

Making your Plaid Jacket

Buying an exquisite, tailored item created from Scottish cloth is creating a classic piece for your wardrobe that will look good for years. Our plaid jacket is beautifully finished with the inside pocket edged in plaid. The jacket has a 2 button fastening (can be made with 3 buttons on request), 2 front pockets and one chest pocket, with one internal pocket.

The Plaid

Your suit is made to measure just for you and you can choose from over 500 Scottish clan plaids. If you can't find the one you are looking for please ask as we may be able to source it for you.

How to care for your Plaid Jacket

Properly cared for your suit will last for generations. This is a pure wool fabric and should be dry cleaned only. Wool fabric can become dull with general dust and dirt. Gentle brushing with a garment brush will brighten it up again.
