Our Plaid Bolero jacket is such a classy and easy to wear addition to your outfit, perfect for wearing over a little black dress for evening wear or layering with a vest and jeans for a more casual Scottish style. Every bolero is made to order in the plaid of your choice so we can accommodate any quirky sizes and special requests. We use a lightweight wool plaid fabric woven in Scotland which is lovely and soft and the bolero is also fully lined.
To ensure that you get the perfect fit, be sure to follow our measuring tips and advice:
For the most accurate measurements, use a tailors tape measure and have a friend or family member measure for you. Ensure you have nothing in any of your pockets and that you stand tall and relaxed while getting measurements taken.
Bust - Measure around the widest part of the bust. Please note this is a different measurement to a bra size, and so the bust measurement should not be taken from a bra label. Ensure the tape measure is straight across the front and back of the body.
Sleeve length - Measure from the top of the shoulder straight down the outside of the arm to the desired sleeve length. Take this measurement with your arm straight down by your side.'
Once you have taken your measurements, our sizing guide below will help you to choose the correct size for your Plaid Bolero, however, if you require any further assistance with sizing, our tartan team will be more than happy to help - get in touch or book a measuring appointment with one of our tailoring consultants.

Making your Plaid Bolero
Buying a beautifully tailored item created from Scottish cloth is creating a classic piece for your wardrobe that will look good for years. Our bolero jackets are made from a lightweight wool woven in Scotland, fully lined and beautifully finished.
The Plaid
Your bolero 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 Bolero
Properly cared for your bolero jacket will last for years. 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.
