Growing up in the traditional Highland Dress business of the family, Howie wore formal wear on many occasions. After starting 21st Century Kilts and wearing the new designs more and more Howie made it a personal mission to create an alternative to jackets like the Prince Charlie and Argyll.

Through several experimental jacket cuts and styles we have kept to the same principal design for more than five years. In the kilt market 21stcentury Kilts have established the three button kilt jacket well and truly throughout the industry.

Our jackets and waistcoats are completely made to measure. With a consultation regarding buttons, pockets, lining, fit and cut. We have kept the jacket simple. It is based close to a mans single breasted suit yet shorter cut. This is an alternative to the traditional that is stylish, suited for the kilt, formal and timeless. We have seen an amazing response from both Modern kilt wearers and Tartan kilt wearers. Like any good kilt jacket, a jacket from 21st century kilts will still be wearable in ten, twenty, thirty years.
