HoE 'Crail' Jacket From Kilts Wi Hae

[OC Richard]

For sure Grae those terms are used differently by various firms today, with HOE being the most obvious outlier.

But in the 1920s and 1930s the term Argyll jacket was being used in the same way that most people use it today, meaning the cutaway jacket with Gauntlet cuffs. AFAIK the terms "crail" and "Braemar" are modern.

Here's "Argyle" used for an Argyll jacket in the 1920s. It's like our Argyll jackets of black Barathea with square silver buttons, but it appears to have satin lapels.



In the same 1920s Scottish publication we have "vest" used in the sense it has retained in the USA
