The Brian Boru Kilt Jacket is a variant of the Prince Charlie, designed to give a distinctive look to Irishmen wishing to wear a kilt. Our Brian Boru Jackets and Waistcoats are tailored in Scotland using the finest quality 19oz barathea wool cloth. This stylish, formal evening jacket can be worn to all formal functions where a black tie is requested such as weddings, dances and fancy dinner receptions. Brian Boru was High King of Ireland, who came close to unifying all of the island under one figurehead, but was killed in his moment of victory at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014.
This Brian Boru Jacket is a higher cut than an Argyll jacket and is completed with a 3 button evening waistcoat.

Measuring advice:
Chest: measure around the chest at under-arm height, 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.
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. Let us know in the instruction box if you have a specific length this must be made to.
It is recommended, where possible, to take your waist measurement over your kilt. However, if this is not possible we can factor this in.
