    Nice jacket, but um...

    Just browsing whilst having my lunch and came across quite a nice looking tweed jacket, but something ain't quite right...

    Humm.... I didnt see anything wrong. What am I missing?

    Never mind. Looked at it again and the kilt is backwards! I was only looking at the jacket the first time.

    Also, the description is a bit off as it describes this as a Prince Charlie with square silver plated buttons...

    Is it just me or do the cuffs go up to the elbow?

    Good find, Martin.

    Was thinking it might be nice to buy as I'd not seen one like it, but not so sure now. I hadn't even noticed the cuffs which do seem to go rather high...

    Cut & paste disease. . . 100% barathea tweed PC with (are those Braemar? can't keep all the cuff styles straight) square-peg-in-a-round-hole buttons. The bass-akwards kilts sums up the entire offering!

    The "also viewed" photos at least have the kilt the right way round.

    Attention to detail does not seem to be a high priority. Makes one hesitate.

    I think you guys are being picky. Indeed, the kilt is wrong way around, but big deal.

    I've seen that style of cuff called 'braemar', and it runs vertically on the arm of the jacket.
