The Kilkenny is a variation on the Argyll, developed to cater for Irish kilt wearers. This is a standard day-wear kilt jacket, versatile for a variety of semi formal or formal occasions. The Traditional Kilkenny Jacket can be worn with or without a 5 button vest and is usually accompanied with a belt and buckle set when a waist coat is not worn.

Our jackets are made from 100% 19oz Barathea Wool to give a luxurious feel.

Features:

• Plain, Braided or no epaulettes
• Irish buttons or imitation horn buttons available in black or brown; or metal buttons.
• Two or one button fastening, or chainlink close.
• Traditional three-button chevron cuff.
• Internal pocket.
• Available in Bottle Green (as shown), Black, Rifle Green, Minch Blue, Navy Blue or Red.

Measuring advice:

• Chest: measure around the chest at under-arm height, while wearing a shirt or t-shirt, with your arms by your side.
• Waist: measure around the waist at roughly naval height - in line with the top of the hips. *This is higher than where your trousers sit*. Let us know if you're wearing your kilt when you do this, as it can sometimes add to your waist or act as a girdle. 
• Sleeve length: find a suit jacket you already own that fits well, and measure from the shoulder seam down to the cuff. 
• Back length: measure from the nape of the neck (where the top of your shirt sits) to the base of the spine - where your tailbone sticks out. We use this, the sleeve length and your height to work out a proportional back length for the jacket. If you have an exact measurement for the back (ie if you've taken it from a well fitting jacket, from the collar seam to bottom) please let us know in the additional instructions box.
