Notice the "inversed" cuff arrangement and... no epaulettes !

My Lady Chrystel is planning to make me one for my birthday along with a waist coat.

It would be nice if I could give it a name !

You could call it a "Dunconnel", Robert, in honour of the pic of Sir Fitzroy.

The issue that bothers me about all this nomenclature is that everyone here gets so concerned about it! One would go to one's tailor and have a jacket made in whatever style that suited his fancy. I try to resist calling jackets "Argyll," or "Crail" or "Braemar." I just like a tweed day jacket with gauntlet cuffs--that's how I describe them.

Sir Fitzroy, BTW, had a very fine sense of style. Many of the clothes he wore were exquisite and were certainly unique.

Cheers,
