Our J. Higgins lovat green tweed kilt waistcoat is made from 100% wool tweed and features imitation stag horn buttons. 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.

Well-made vest
I had been searching for somewhere to buy a couple stand-line vests at a good price and this looked like a great deal since they are made in the USA and come with a fabric back. The construction and quality are top notch. I also like the close but not too snug fit. Only problem is, even though I stated my height at 64” they sent a regular length. As a result, it’s too long for a kilt vest (would be a good length for a suit vest). I checked and unfortunately they are out of 42S in any of the three colors, and won’t have any for awhile. I really do like it otherwise, so I’m going to take it up a little at the shoulders and also flatten the bottom. It should be fine. The only other thing I want to mention is the color is much darker than any Lovat Green I’ve ever seen. I thought the picture on the website was just dark, but it turns out its pretty close to the actual color. That being said, it is an attractive color, just be aware it may not be the same as other Lovat Green you have seen.

lovat green vest
This is a very well made wool vest. It is a darker herringbone pattern lovat green. The back is also wool making for very solid construction.
