Our 2 Button Plaid Jackets are an easy to wear, timeless and always fashionable addition to your jacket collection. This is a very versatile style that can be worn in both casual and smart settings, paired with jeans and colour block top for a laid back look or go full Scottish sophistication with a matching plaid waistcoat, trousers or skirt.
We make our jackets in UK size 8 to 24 (US size 4 to 20) so we can cater for petite and plus sizes. Please note that our ladies 2 button jackets are made to a matrix, and so only minor adjustments can be made to our standard sizes. If you have a larger bust size and smaller waist please select the correct size to fit your bust and provide us with a waist measurement so we can ensure it is nipped in to show off your curves. If you are more pear shaped then again please select the correct size for your bust and give us a waist and hip measurement and your jacket will be cut accordingly. Any extra information on your shape size is always welcome to help us adapt the patterns to suit you.
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 that you stand tall and relaxed while getting measurements taken.
Waist - Measure around the body at the natural waist. Ensure the tape measure is straight across the front and back of the body.
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.
Length - Measure from the nape of the neck down to the desired length of the jacket.
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.

The Fabric
We use a top quality lightweight 10oz plaid fabric woven in Scotland to make your 2 Button Fastening Jacket.
Making your Plaid Jacket
Buying a beautifully tailored item created from Scottish cloth is creating a classic piece for your wardrobe that will look good for years. Our jackets are made from a lightweight wool woven in Scotland, fully lined and beautifully finished. You can customise lots of details if you wish. See below for all the options!
The Detail
Your jacket is already an original as you choose the tartan and we tailor it to your measurements. But the fun doesn't end there and you can request so many details to make your jacket even more special. You can choose the colour of your lining. Be bold and go for a contrast colour or take a more sedate co-ordinating colour to suit the occasion. Buttonhole stitching can be emphasised to match a stripe or check. Button colours will match the base colour as standard or you can select any colour you like. Cuffs generally have stitched buttons for show only but we can make them real if you want to roll your sleeves up. Extra pockets can be added or pocket styles changed to be slanting instead of straight, jetted instead of flaps. Your tartan jacket is not only made to measure but also made to your specification. Surcharges may apply for some extras. Email us for more information.
The Plaid
Your jacket 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 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.
