Jacobite Jacket

**Macthenife** · 17th July 09, 04:23 AM

Hello All,

Recently, I was going through the thread showing wedding photos and I came across the photos of Pour1Malt's wedding. I really admire the jacket he has on. He told me that this style of jacket is called a Jacobite Jacket. I inquired where he purchased his and he said in a town called Annan in Scotland but he thinks they can be found on the internet for purchase as well. I found one for sale on ebay, I have included the link below so you can see the style of the jacket.

Does any one have any other suggestions of where I can find a jacket like this? I know gilmore has one that is blue for sale on ebay but I'm interested in finding one that is made of black wool. So if any one has any suggestions, I will be most grateful.

Slainte!

Shawn

Wolfstone Kilt Co. makes a jacket they call the Scottish Fighting Jacket that appears to be at least very similar. I don't have any personal experience with this vendor, but I've heard them mentioned here at X Marks a few times.

Pendragon Costumes has a similar style, called Rob Roy. Suede with lots of tying straps, but similar look.

I am really so wary of buying things on ebay! I hate having to buy things without having my hands on em. How do you know what sellers to trust, and that they aren't selling you crap?

I've bought books and been lucky, but Hughland gear, I just dunno!

Is this the same jacket that is some times called the Chieftain ?

Yes, you have to be wary of buying things from eBay and from outside the US. Make sure you get a estimate of when they are shipping and pay extra for tracking. Once the item is shipped, make sure you get a tracking number from them. Check the tracking number and watch you package. If the buyer fails to provide you with a tracking number, then contact them again as you are paying for a tracking number to be used.
Some retailers can be very unbusinesslike and provide lots of excuses why something is not being deliveried.

Make sure to use Paypal or a credit card so you can dispute the purchase and get your money back. Once you get the item in, be sure to praise the retailer on here or provide any problems you might have had with them to assist in protecting others and your fellow forum users.

I do use a credit card most of the time. I have had no problems with Paypal as of yet, but have heard horror stories about disputes.

I always check here before buying anything anywhere, and will always put in a good word, for those that do right.

So much of the stuff I have seen on Ebay looks like it is usually from one or two sellers trying to dump! I like the idea of buying from our sponsor sites or supporting the little guy as much as possible.

This stuff ain't cheap, but I know so many small vendors have such a small market. There probably isn't much of a profit margin.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack!

This one from Scots Clans looks almost identical:

"Jacobite" would be a misnomer, as these all look like Elizabethan doublets....

We used to carry that line of jacket in our gift shop but they were discontinued by the manufacturer. I think we have ONE left on the rack, and if I am not mistaken, I think it is black. Don't recall the size, though. If you are interested call or email the museum.
