I love the history of military jackets & coats using different colored facings to designate regiments and units. It sort of fascinates me.

But I'm wondering why this never caught on with non-formal civilian jackets, especially kilt jackets.

All the modern kilt jackets I see have the same color material at the gauntlet cuffs, collars, etc. And all the historical portraits I've looked at seem to suggest the same thing. There may be examples of different facing colors that I haven't seen, though, in which case I'd love for someone to post them! I do believe I've seen it done on more formal attire, especially the ones that lean toward military cuts (such as doublets and possibly PCs). But I'm talking specifically about civilian non-formal jackets. Think "daywear".

I think it would be a nice look for a bespoke Argyll jacket to use a different color at the cuffs, collar, and perhaps even the pocket flaps. Nothing 'loud' or garish, of course. And nothing that potentially copies military color combinations. Maybe an olive-greenish tweed jacket with a brownish tweed for the facings? Or a grey Barathea jacket with medium blue facings? The color combinations could be endless, and would be a very stylish way of adding some visual appeal to a kilt jacket, as well as coordinating colors with one's kilt and hose. Might even be cool for a waistcoat to match the facing color.

What say you? Have you seen it done? Would you like to see it done? Are there any quality jacket makers who would do such a custom order?
