The Braemar Jacket and Vest form an elegant part of traditional Highland day dress, often worn with kilts for both formal and semi-formal occasions. Derived from late 19th-century Scottish military tailoring, the Braemar jacket shares features with the Argyll but adds distinctive scalloped cuffs with three buttons, epaulettes, and a slightly shorter cut for a crisp silhouette. Typically made in barathea or tweed, it pairs with a matching five-button waistcoat (vest) for a complete ensemble. The Braemar style is favored for versatility — suitable with tartan kilts, dress sporrans, and tie or cravat.
