Kilt jackets are an integral part of traditional Scottish Highland dress, completing the formal ensemble when worn with a kilt. These jackets are tailored to complement the distinctive style of the kilt and are often worn for special events, ceremonies, or formal occasions. Here are some common types of kilt jackets:

Prince Charlie Jacket:
