a definition on jackets

[Twa_Corbies]

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.

My tweed jacket is in a similar plain style, mainly because it was made about 50 years ago. That was probably the "bespoke" style at the time and is still what the Saville Row tailors produce for Prince Charles.

This why I designed my Kilt Kut Sport Coat.

A regular 3 button jacket cuff. Nothing fancy.
No epauletes.
2 outside lower Pockets with regular jacket cuff.
1 outside chest pocket.
1 inside pocket.

Available with or without 5 button vest.

Made for me in the UK.

Fully Made to Measure.

Here are some photos



The front. Note the three button closure.






Here is the Back showing the Double Vents.
Also note the cuff treatment.






Here is a shot of the liner and the inner pocket.






And finally a shot of the Waistcoat.



All the Pockets are real. The buttons are imitation Horn.

I guess I should have tightened up the knot on the tie a bit and a look in a mirror would have shown me my hair sticking up in all directions.
Sorry about that.

All of these photos will also be posted in the Freedom Kilts section of the forum.
