Shirts & Jackets

There are a number of different types of tops that can be worn with a Kilt. If you're Piping with a band, you'll pretty much have to go with the band uniform. But, if you're a Lone Piper, you have your choice.

The chemise or, "peasant shirt" is traditional attire. And, it is easily made from a coupleyards of muslin and a couple feet of elastic.

 

A nice addition to the chemise is a vest. As with most Highland attire though, a vest can be a bit pricey. Western style vests are usually cheaper. And, you can often find one in a thrift store.

Sometimes, you just don't have a choice though. Some occasions call for more than a peasant shirt... Like a jacket. I found this jacket in my local thrift store for $1.00
