can anyone tell me the type of jacket the fellow 2nd from the right is wearing? on the 6th picture

[McMurdo]

I think the photo is too small to tell, is this the photo you were looking at?

That is Lord Sempill. His jacket, I am sure, was made by his tailor. I'm sure his tailor refers to it as "Lord Sempill's tweed kilt jacket", and people close to Lord Sempill probably call it "Jamie's tweed kilt jacket."

The nice thing about bespoke tailoring is that youcan have a jacket made to your specifications, unique, as it were.

That being said, in "The Kilt and How to Wear It," Erskine wrote that the preferred day jacket had a square front, not rounded as we seem to think is standard. Erskine maintained that such a jacket was more authentic and looked nicer.

Intresting...

I notice Lord Sempill is also wearing a bias-cut tartan waistcoat, which would according to some breaking the Rule of no tartan above waist. And I love his tartan! Note to self: Marry into that family...

I do like that jacket.

It would be much easier to alter a sports jacket to that sort of kilt jacket, than one with the curved front.

Hmmm...Now wheres that sports jacket I got from good will?

I think in this modern world some are too concerned with fitting in to a type. Whilst there are loose conventions on highland attire, it is true, but there is ample room for a spot of personal flair. Prince Charles and His Lordship demonstrate this so well.We are not in the Brigade of Guards here, we are a group of individuals that are gifted with an imagination and some of us exercise that gift. Now whether the end result works or not is another matter. For me, I am not sure that the cut of His Lordship's jacket works, but if he likes it then there is really nothing more to say.

And who set that rule? No one from the Highlands!

Erskine's "The Kilt and How to Wear It" is a great book, I got a copy early on in my kilt wearing career, but I think quotes and advice from it should always be prefaced with something like "In 1901, Erskine said..." to remind folks that the information, while still quite valid, is over 100 years old. All fashion, even kilt fashion, evolves over time.

Well said Jock I heartily agree!
