Just a note that may be of interest. Although the Argyll and Braemar style daywear jackets are very popular and look exceptionally good with the kilt, one might notice that many Clan Chiefs (and Prince Charles in particular) seldom wear kilt jackets that have the gauntlet or scalloped cuffs, choosing instead to wear a very plain style tweed or barathea jacket with no eppulattes and ordinary cuffs and pocket-flaps. This is probably out of a desire to not appear overly ostentatious and present an air of quiet dignity. There are those who denounce the plain look as being a Sassanach style and is not in keeping with the Highlander's fondness of ornament; but it is favored among the aristocracy, at least for everyday dress.
