Mens | Crail Style Jackets and Waistcoats

The Crail jacket is a traditional Scottish garment that forms part of a Highland outfit. As a less formal alternative to the Prince Charlie jacket, it's suitable for semi-formal events and day wear. Characterised by its cutaway front similar to a morning coat, the Crail features peaked lapels, and typically has three pockets - two at the waist and one on the inside chest. It's adorned with decorative buttons on the cuffs. Cut to sit just below the waist, the Crail jacket is ideal for weddings, formal dinners, or other dress occasions where full Highland dress is appropriate but a Prince Charlie might be too formal. Typically paired with a kilt, dress shirt, tartan tie, and waistcoat, it offers a versatile balance between formality and practicality in Highland wear. While its name derives from the town of Crail in Fife, Scotland, the exact origin of this jacket style is not widely documented.
