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:

Excellent vest, price, and service. I measured carelessly and my vest was too tight. I easily exchanged it for one the right size.

Quick delivery
Posted by John Sullivan on 11th Mar 2021
This arrives right in time and the fit is great. I would like it to be about an inch longer but I definitely would recommend this for others. Follow the guides for sizing. Great product.

Beware the Height question!
Posted by Richard Cook on 30th Sep 2020
Be aware that they ignore what length you order and send you the length they think you need based on how you answer the question about your height. Study what heights they assume go with what lengths, and answer the question about your height accordingly. I need length "L", always have, but the site now insists you answer the height question, and they sent me an "XL" instead of what I ordered. Another quibble: the pockets are very shallow. (John's reply: Richard, we try to take everything into account, and don't ignore some things. We attempt to do our best estimate of sizing. The XL is 1" longer than the L and I will be happy to exchange it if you'd like to send it back).

Excellent product and service
Posted by Reno McCormick on 14th May 2020
In need of a waistcoat, I contacted J.Higgins to ask a few questions regarding the construction and fit of their black wool waistcoat.I followed the measuring guide and sent off my questions. I was surprised to receive an email shortly thereafter with several follow-up questions. The team pulled their records to see that I had purchased and returned the same vest 8 years ago, as it did not fit will. After a few email exchanges, the team suggested a size they thought would work best for my height and weight. The waistcoat arrived about a week later, and it is a perfect fit. If not for their excellent customer service, I might not have found exactly what I needed. Thanks to all a JHiggins!
