Product Description
Our J. Higgins black kilt waistcoat is made from 100% wool twill (9390) and features silver square rampant lion buttons. We recommend pushing these tricky buttons through the buttonholes via their side first rather than the pointed tip. Our argyle waistcoats use the same material in both the front and the back, making them wearable with or without our argyle jackets. It comes in even sizes 30 to 60 in short (5'9" and below), regular (5'10" to 6'0"), long (6'1" to 6'2") & ex long (6'3" & up). Made by our talented staff here in the U.S.A.
NOTE: These tend to run small. Exchangeable and returnable if the first size doesn't fit.
Watch our instructional video for how to measure for your J.Higgins waistcoat:

Great vest, quick and courteous service!
Posted by Unknown on 20th Apr 2016
I needed a waistcoat in time to have it altered for a competition in 2 weeks. I sent in my measurements with a note about being female and that the vest would have to be altered accordingly. The JHiggins team responded within a couple of hours letting me know they had chosen a size they thought would fit and that it would be delivered within 2 days and I would need to sign for it (as I had ordered express delivery). Its a great quality waistcoat and I had it altered within 2 days and had a week to spare for my competition.

Great Value
Posted by Bill S. on 2nd Nov 2015
Did some research into vests with other suppliers... Not only is the Higgins vest competitively priced, it's cheaper in most cases and made of better materials in comparison. Additionally, it shipped quick with minimal cost. My decision to purchase from Higgins was predicated on quality not cost. Another band member had a vest from Higgins and, it was great... Significantly better quality than others I've seen. The cost / shipping were bonuses.

Nice Vest
Posted by Unknown on 10th Sep 2015
I was pleased with the quality and appearance of this vest. J Higgins called me after the order and recommended a size larger than what I ordered. I ordered my actual, measured size. The vest that Higgins recommended fit perfectly, so I would heartily recommend ordering a vest one size larger than what you think. The vest has a short waist ideal for wearing with a kilt. The fabric is a nice wool. I'm very happy with this vest. Now I know what size to order when I purchase an Argyle jacket.

Vested interest

This vest goes well with the argyle jacket I also ordered. Seems a bit more roomy than expected, but fine for its intended purpose, which could take up the slack perfectly.

Excellent vest, but make sure youmeasure
Posted by Robert MacDermott on 2nd Jul 2015
I recently ordered this vest, along with a matching Daywear Argyle Kilt Jacket. I have no complaints about the quality of the vest (or jacket). It feels great, looks great, and fits as advertised. I feel it is a great value for the price.
A word of warning, they do run small, as stated in the product description. I measured per the website's instructions prior to ordering and asked which size to order based on my measurements. The vest is a snug fit when compared to the jacket (which is the same size). It fits me well now, but woe to me if I pack on the pounds.
I would recommend this product to anyone else looking for a new vest, just be sure to measure. -
Black waist coat

The waist coat is excellent and very pleased with what I received and was well worth the money. The fit is perfect and I could not ask for a fine waist coat.
