Prince Charlie Trews (Modern Douglas)
Pair the Modern Douglas trews with the Bonnie Prince Charlie jacket and waistcoat and wham, you have a seriously fine highland dress look on your hands. Trousers, Trews or Triubhas it doesn't matter, they're a mighty fine bit of kit and quite the black tie look.
For the trews, take a true waist measurement (around the belly button) as they sit higher on the waist. The belt isn't essential wearing as long as the waistcoat covers the top of the trousers. The low three button waistcoat means a bow tie is the choice of accessory.

"Nice suit and good fit although the wrong colour hat was sent and when I tried contacting via the different channels I had radio silence and no customer service. Not clear on how the suit is returned and no label in the box."
"I was happy with my rental experience from Rathbones. My only criticism is that the waistcoat was far too large, even when adjusted as much as possible with the back strap. Why not offer the matching ties and pocket squares for rent as well?"
"Service was excellent. I forgot to order top hat and Megan turned this around for me, delivered in 4 days. Suit quality was excellent. Fit was good and sizing guide all correct. Return process so easy. All round a five star service. Thank you!"
"An excellent and extremely convenient service. The delivery arrived promptly ahead of the required date, the rented items were all perfect and the returns system is incredibly straightforward. I would possibly say that the waistcoats run slightly larger than size."
"Easy to order, delivered right on time, very good quality and easy to return. If you have questions they reply right away and Megan was so helpful in reassuring me evrything would arrive on time and that it would fit!"
"Par excellent customer service but delivery company an absolute nightmare using lies to cover their driver's evasion for failed deliveries making an already stressful situation even worse if that is possible"
"Very good. The quality of the suit was good. There was a slight issue with a size but responded quickly over chat and sorted the next day . Would recommend"
"What a brilliant reaction to hire with Rathbones tailors. So helpful with sizing, a great service and quality tailoring. It was better than expected."
"Was sent well in advance. Changes were easily made. Suit was no different from other hire places. Easy to deal with. Would use again."
"Ok, email communication was pretty good and helpful but after that things went a bit awry. DPD literally hid the parcel in the back of an outbuilding and it wasn’t found for two days ( no fault of Rathbones but an emailed delivery alert might have been useful) The trouser sizing for the morning suit was ridiculous. I’m just under 6’ and was prompted to order 30” leg knowing full well that I always take a 34” leg. The waist sizing is equally insane. I’m a 31” waist, 30” at a pinch but the trousers supplied were actually smaller than 28” ( I measured them). . By ludicrous contrast the 38” waistcoat drowned me. . The 38” jacket fitted perfectly but the lapels were very shabbily pressed Because of the delivery shenanigans the replacements didn’t arrive until mid morning on Wednesday when we were already en route to Ascot. Fortunately my very talented wife pinned and tacked my enormous waistcoat and re-sewed the jacket buttons. In my wardrobe I found an old but mightily cool pair of Valentino dark grey flannels that escaped the notice of the dress code police and actually looked pretty natty. Given the total cost of the rental, heightened stress levels due to last minute tailoring fixes, I can’t report much more than a sense of disappointment. ( Didn’t have a winner either)"
