Chieftain/Jacobite Barathea Vest - Various Colours
Occasion: Day/Casual
The Chieftain or Jacobite Vest is twentieth-century revival pattern, which combines an eighteenth century vest form with nineteenth-century details (such as the taches and formal button lines). It ultimately derives from the late European medieval jerkin, which would have been worn in Scotland by fashion conscious Lowlanders and no doubt combined with a kilt in the Highlands. Still, this is a striking and evocative garment, especially when combined with a ghillie shirt, and a very popular one. Designed to show off a shirt collar.
This vest is to order only. Allow 8 weeks approximately.
- 100% pure wool Barathea for a luxurious finish
- Polished ‘Clann na Gael’ square buttons
