History and Heritage Behind Tweed
Tweed has been loved for centuries as a strong, warm, and lightweight textile. First woven by hand in Scotland, tweed was made to sustain the rough weather of the Highlands. Tweed was used by farmers and hunters for its strength and comfort. Tweed eventually moved from functional use to a sign of refined fashion.
When paired with the classic Scottish kilt, tweed jacket popularity skyrocketed. The tweed kilt jacket proved the ideal compromise between coarse functionality and sophisticated style. Today, Skylarkinfantry upholds this gallant tradition by selling kilt jackets made of the highest-quality tweed to guarantee authenticity, fashion sense, and durability.

Styling the Tweed Kilt Jacket
