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.

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