In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential pieces that make up a Jacobite kilt outfit and how to find them right here at Atlanta Kilts. We’ll also explore matching options for kids, so your entire family, from the youngest to the eldest, can embrace the tradition with pride.
What Is a Jacobite Kilt Outfit?
A Jacobite kilt outfit pays homage to the Highland dress worn during the Jacobite risings in 17th- and 18th-century Scotland. It’s a formal-yet-relaxed alternative to the Prince Charlie outfit, offering both historical significance and versatile style. At Atlanta Kilts, we’ve modernized this classic look with comfort and convenience in mind, without compromising its authenticity.
1. The Jacobite Shirt
Every Jacobite ensemble starts with the signature Jacobite shirt. Unlike traditional dress shirts, the Jacobite shirt features a loose fit with billowy sleeves and a leather-laced neckline, giving it that distinctive Highland flair. Made from lightweight cotton or cotton-poly blends, this shirt is breathable and ideal for outdoor or indoor events.
2. The Kilt
No Jacobite outfit is complete without a high-quality kilt. We offer a range of tartans to suit your family history, personal taste, or occasion theme. Choose from our extensive tartan gallery or customize your own. Our kilts are made from durable acrylic wool and tailored to your exact measurements for a perfect fit.
Want to match with the younger members of your clan? Our children’s kilt outfit options make it easy to coordinate. From toddlers to teens, we offer kilts with adjustable waistbands and comfortable linings.
3. The Belt and Buckle
The Jacobite shirt is untucked and worn loosely, which means the kilt belt plays both a functional and decorative role. A wide leather belt with a bold Celtic or thistle-engraved buckle completes the look. It helps secure the kilt in place and adds rugged, historical charm to the outfit.
We offer several belt styles, so you can personalize your Jacobite outfit with your choice of finish and buckle design.
4. The Sporran
The sporran is a small pouch worn at the front of the kilt, as kilts don’t have pockets. For a Jacobite outfit, we recommend a semi-dress or leather day sporran, something elegant yet practical. It not only enhances the visual balance of the outfit but also provides a convenient way to carry keys, wallets, or small items.
5. Footwear and Hose
Complete the look with knee-high kilt hose and Ghillie brogues, traditional lace-up shoes with long leather laces wrapped around the ankles. We offer both in various colors to complement your chosen tartan. Add flashes (hose garters) for an extra pop of color that matches or contrasts your outfit.
6. Optional Accessories
Want to take your Jacobite outfit to the next level? Consider adding:
- Fly plaid with a matching brooch
- Sgian dubh (a small ceremonial knife tucked into the kilt hose)
- Kilt pin for extra flair and security
