Completely made in Scotland. The Balmoral Doublet is a formal Victorian-style jacket and waistcoat - a classic design in Socttisah Highlandwear - but one that was supplanted by the Argyll and the Prince Charlie in the early twentieth century. Now enjoying something of a renaissance, we can make this timeless set for you in either barathea (fine wool), tweed, or even velvet.

The Balmoral can be worn with or without a waistcoat. The front is closable, so you can either wear it closed without waistcoat, or open with the waistcoat.

You can customise almost every aspect of this doublet using the drop-down menus above. You can use the text box to make any other requests.

Measuring advice:

• Chest: measure around the chest at under-arm height, over the widest part, 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. We can check this against your height.
• Back length: measure from the nape of the neck (where the top of your shirt sits) to an inch-and-a-half below where the top of your kilt sits. 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 doublet, from the collar seam to bottom) please let us know in the additional instructions box
