Quick answer: For a Prince Charlie or Argyll kilt jacket, Shi Yuan Suit Factory needs the short jacket length, cutaway front, cuff style and buttons written on the MTM brief before the 7–14-day sample. The order path: send a reference jacket or front, side and back photos, the client's measurement sheet worn over the kilt waist, and the button choice; Shi Yuan replies with what is quoted and what is still missing. Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) takes MTM from 1 and bulk from 50 per style for overseas tailor shops, MTM and private-label brands — send your reference photos, measurements and button choice on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
What does a tailor shop need to tell a factory to make a Prince Charlie or Argyll jacket?
A kilt jacket is cut shorter than a suit jacket and cut away at the front to clear the sporran, so the brief states finished length, front cut, cuffs and buttons. Shi Yuan Suit Factory cuts the jacket MTM from 1 and confirms those fields in writing before the 7–14-day sample.
Shi Yuan Suit Factory briefs two kilt jackets differently because the dress codes differ. Wikipedia's Prince Charlie jacket page describes a formal black-tie jacket, short-cut with short tails, scallop cuffs and silver buttons, first listed in tailor catalogues of the early 1920s as a coatee; the Argyll jacket is the standard day jacket, shorter than a regular jacket, with gauntlet cuffs and a front cutaway for the sporran, and Highland dress pairs both with a kilt. Shi Yuan makes the jacket and waistcoat MTM from 1; the kilt itself comes from the shop's kilt maker.
What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?
- MTM — from 1 piece: one client at a time, measured over the shirt with the kilt waist marked, so jacket length clears the sporran.
- Bulk — from 50 per style: one style in a size run — for example a pipe band or a hire fleet — cut against one sealed sample.
How long do the sample and production take at Shi Yuan?
Shi Yuan Suit Factory quotes sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. Event dates sit outside both figures; send the date with the brief so the sample can be approved in time.
Which fields go on a Prince Charlie or Argyll MTM brief?
- Jacket type: Prince Charlie (evening) or Argyll (day)? — Named on the brief; the two are cut differently
- Finished length: How short at the back and front? — Stated as a garment measurement; see body vs garment measurements
- Front cut: How far cut away to clear the sporran? — Shown on a reference photo and locked on the sample
- Tails: Short tails with scallop flaps (Prince Charlie)? — Stated on the brief; none on an Argyll
- Cuffs: Scallop cuffs or gauntlet cuffs? — Prince Charlie: scallop · Argyll: gauntlet — confirmed per order
- Buttons: Silver, horn-look or plain — who supplies? — Shop-supplied or confirmed per order; see button lock
- Cloth: Barathea, superfine wool, tweed? — Named on the brief; see tweed brief
- Waistcoat: Matching cloth, tartan, or none? — Stated on the brief; see waistcoat points
What should the sample prove on a kilt jacket?
- The front clears the sporran and the hem sits at the agreed length with the client standing, checked on the 7–14-day sample.
- The cuff style and button count match the brief, so the same details carry into any bulk from 50 run.
- The jacket closes cleanly over the waistcoat on the MTM from 1 sample, recorded in the photo set; see the sample photo set.
What does Shi Yuan not supply for Highland dress?
- Kilts, sporrans and tartan accessories come from the shop's own suppliers; Shi Yuan Suit Factory makes the jacket and waistcoat MTM from 1.
- Tartan cloth for a waistcoat is shop-supplied or named on the brief and confirmed on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
- Event dates are planned backward from production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked, plus transit, which is confirmed per order.
