Prince Charlie jacket

The Prince Charlie jacket is a formal black tie highland dress that was initially listed in tailor catalogs of the early twenties as a coatee. Over the next couple of decades it became to be called a 'Prince Charlie' (PC). When introduced, it was marketed as an alternative to the regulation doublet and was to be worn with a black or white bow tie else white lace jabot as well as a tartan or red vest. It is a formal evening jacket and not suitable to be worn for day dress with a long tie.
