Lapel, cuff, and pocket flap Facing on a Dress Argyle?

[JSFMACLJR]

What are the options for the lapel material on a traditional dress Argyle: silk wool, etc?

Should the cuffs, and pocket flaps be made from the same material as the lapel facing?

* That would be the silver button, dress Argyle that can be worn as black tie attire that MacMillan of Rathdown and others have talked about. *
Thank you.

Hi Ted,

If you have in mind the plain black Argyll jacket that can be worn to dressy daytime functions as well as to evening black tie events, then the lapels would have to be of the same material as the rest of the jacket--black barathea.

If, on the other hand, you are thinking of an Argyll style jacket just for black tie evening events, then the sky's pretty much the limit! For a work-horse jacket for most people, silk lapels would be a splendid choice. You could have an evening Argyll jacket made in velvet, and have either velvet lapels or go wth silk either of the same colour or a contrasting colour.

Re-reading your post, though, does indicate to me that you are asking about the former style of Argyll--the black barathea one good for day/night! Keep the lapels wool.
