Our J. Higgins bottle green 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.
As a general note, we ask for cloth tape measurements only. Please do not give us jacket or vest sizes from any other piece of existing clothing you have. There is virtually no standardization in the clothing industry, and unless you have a recent article of clothing from J.Higgins, we insist on accurate and specific measurements outlined in our measurement guide. Do not attempt to measure yourself, you must always use the help of someone else. All measurements are in inches.
NOTE: These tend to run small. Exchangeable and returnable if the first size doesn't fit.

product is far superior to competitors
This waist coat is excellent and a proper substitute for a full jacket. Your replacement of the wrong size was expeditious and arrive in time for an important engagement.

waist coat/.vest is very classy
The waist coat/ vest looks great. The first vest was too small but the replacement was just great. Higgins vest are fitted like a fine coat and without the adjusting buckle in the back. It presents a classier look. The customer service by John and Griffin could not have been better. Thank you!
