The Piper Flex(tm) Argyll jacket is a truly groundbreaking design. Through a few simple changes to a standard Argyll jacket, this design greatly increases a piper's comfort level while playing.
- The Cloth: The material used in the back 2 panels of the jacket is a Wool / Lycra BLENDED fabric, which allows for a bit of stretch in the cloth. While NO color variation can be detected between the 2 fabrics, the back of the jacket will actually flex up to 2" to allow better range of motion for pipers.
- The Closure: This jacket has a 2 button and chain configuration, not the standard 1 button closure on an Argyll. When the arm is raised in the piping position, the chain allows a slight bit of 'give' to the front of the jacket (where a standard Argyll would either be tightly closed or be open and hanging).
- The Arm Holes: The bottom of the arm hole for the jacket is sewn a slightly more snug to the armpit, allowing the arm to be raised comfortably, without the shoulder of the jacket pushing up from the shoulder.
- The Back Width: The width of the back measurement is increased by 1 inch to allow a bit more freedom of movement when the arms are positioned in front of the body.
These 4 small innovations make a world of difference for the piper looking for the ultimate jacket to maintain a professional appearance. As this jacket is custom made at our tailor's in Glasgow, please allow 8 weeks for delivery.

STOCK Size measuring instructions:
The vast majority of our customers fit into a jacket that is a stock size (i.e. 44 Reg, 48 Long, etc.). To figure out which size will fit you best, follow the instructions below.
Chest Size This measurement is best taken using a cloth tape measure, while wearing a t-shirt. Lift up your arms and wrap the tape measure around your chest at the widest point (you can then put your arms down). Breathe "normally" and don't over inflate or exhale too much. Take the measurement (not snug) at the widest part of your chest. Add 2" to 3" to that number to reach the next "even" number up. Example: If you measure 43 to 44, you would order a size 46. If you measure 41 or 42, you would order a size 44. |
