Argyll Highland jacket is a shorter than regular jacket with gauntlet cuffs and pocket flaps and front cutaway for wearing with a sporran and kilt. It can be of tweed, tartan or solid colour material. The Argyll is the standard day wear jacket. :[1][2]

Other jackets of the same cutaway for the sporran and kilt are known by other names, such as Crail, and Braemar; however, are generally often just referred to as an Argyll jacket.
