Personalize Your Jacket

Make your jacket unique to you! There is a number of ways that you can change the details and styling of your jacket or blazer, if you're feeling brave you can even choose more than one plaid! Buttons can be added or removed from the main front fastening and the cuff. Cuff buttons are stitched as standard, but we can make them "real" on all or some of the holes. Add a luxurious touch with satin or velvet lapels instead of plaid. The standard lining for our plaid suit jacket is black twill, however this can also be changed to contrast lining that compliments your chosen plaid.

 

Finish it off with a personal touch by having your initials embroidered on the inner pocket. 

How to Style Your Plaid Jacket or Blazer

A plaid Jacket of any style is a timeless piece to have in your closet and the styling options are somewhat endless for some styles. As a general styling tip, we would advise letting your jacket really make a statement by keeping the rest of your outfit simple with complimentary block colors.

 

Our plaid flight jackets and gilets are a great way to wear plaid in a casual style. For an on-trend laid back look, we suggest wearing them with jeans, a t-shirt (and hoodie for colder days) and sneakers.

 

Plaid suit jackets/blazers can be worn as smart, casual and somewhere in-between attire. If you're looking to incorporate it in to your professional, working attire we would suggest opting for a more subtle and darker plaid for example Black Watch or Campbell, to wear with a shirt and pants, suitable for the office. For a more smart-casual look, we suggest pairing your blazer with jeans, a shirt and brogues. This could be easily adapted for a more formal look by adding a tie, waistcoat or switching jeans for a pair of chino pants.

 

Plaid Tails/Morning Jackets would usually only be worn for formal events including Weddings and Balls. As standard, this would be worn with a bow tie, waistcoat and tailored pants. Each of those accompanying garments can be worn in block color or plaid, mix and match to be as bold or understated as you like.
