This is a Wallace jacket. Basically it’s a modern take on the Argyll jacket. It is not my favourite to be honest.
As for tweed choices, if you go bespoke you find a myriad of choices. I do think this is a big part of the picture. Retail locations can only carry so many tweeds.

Ah right, thank you Glen. I agree, to my eye without the argyll cuffs it looks like a dog without ears.

Jane Seymour notwithstanding, I'd rather have the dog. Alas, I've no room for another at the moment.

Basically the "Wallace" style jackets are for those who prefer the style of something more like a suit coat or sport coat, over the military inspired Argyle style.
As made by Gaelic Tailoring it features a 3 button front, regular suit coat 3 or 4 button sleeve cuffs, and no epaulettes, but is cut shorter in length for a kilt and has a sporran cut-away in front.
My own Kilt Kut Suit Coat which was a staple of Freedom Kilts was a Wallace style without the trim "European" cut. I added 1 inch of fullness in the back and under the arms, and less artificial padding at the shoulders specifically designed for N. American men.
It is the jacket you see me in most commonly. It is my 'go-to' jacket.
It works well with or without a waistcoat or even a tie if you prefer that look.
One of the popular features is that the pocket flaps could be worn out or tucked in.
And the cuffs were true "open" cuffs instead of the imitation suit coat cuffs of the Crail jacket.
If seen from the waist up you would assume I am wearing a normal suit.
