I have noticed a couple of comments from people on this thread regarding The Balmoral Jacket and The Crail Jacket being seen as a "dressier" style than an Argyll Jacket.This is news to me and perhaps I have missed something over the past 50 odd years.

I have asked several of my friends here in Scotland and they,like me, regard the three styles of jacket as just a variation on the same theme.Or,perhaps this is a modern trend?
That's how I've seen them. They are the SAME cut and style, just with different cuff trim decor.
What "dresses" them up or down is more the accessories and the material.
Black with silver trim tends to be "nicer," while tweed with bone or leather tends to be more "casual."
