Jacket styles varied depnding on the type of kilt outfit. Black military-styled jackets and cut-away jackets were the two most common jacket styles for Highland kilts. The jacket for many of the Highland kilt outfits seems to have been a black military style. The black jackets were styled differently. We also see also see cut-away jackets wuth Highlnd kilt outfits. This was a very popular jacket style for younger school-age boys during the 1860s. These cut-away jackets were usually very plain done in various colors which unfortunately can not be derermined with the black and white photograohy of the day. Rarely were the jacket done in plaid or any other pattern. The boy's outfit here is an exception with more plaid than we have ever seen before in these Highland outfits. There is plaid every where you look except for the hosiery (figure 1). There may even be a plaid bow. For kilt suit outfits, the cut away jacket was fairly standard.
