Jacket types

No, no no....those ruffled shirts mean "lounge piano player" !

1970's high-school prom! Fortunately that trend was after my time.

The shawl collar tux says "auld fogie, very set in his ways" When I replaced my tux a few years back, I went out of my way to get a shawl collar. The shape was not perfect, but at least it was a shawl collar... I still like the skinny lapels we had when I were lad.

"I'm still somewhat confused as to the differences between an Argyll, a Braemar, a Crail, ect.
Could someone help out by giving me a description of each? What I'm looking for is the differences in buttons (placement and number), cuffs, pockets, ect.


OH HERE HERE!!! I have been trying to get ahold on this for-ever

You might find post number 15 on this very thread helpful.

No, you don't have toTed. In fact, I suggest the only place for ghillie brogues, is the bin.

Steady on there, Jock. Some of us have spent our hard-earned on them and would like to get some use out of them - along with the white hose!

It is really just a difference in the cuffs. It is explained, with a helpful illustration, at the end of this short article:

Sometimes, the confusion over names works in our favor.

This is clearly not a PC, but I can only guess as to whether it is a Sheriffmuir or a regulation. As always, it is for the slender gents:

Anybody care to hazard a guess?
