Names for kilt jackets
Does anyone know where the names of the various kilt jackets come from? I originally posted a reply about this elsewhere but it passed unnoticed. I originally thought it might be because people in the towns they are named after wore that style but I know, for instance, that Crail is a small fishing village in the east neuk of Fife where kilt-wearing is pretty well non-existent and I have never seen anyone in Braemar wearing that style of jacket in many visits there. I know too that what I call a Montrose doublet others call a Kenmore and what they call a Montrose I know as a Military doublet. I have never seen a definitive list of the various styles anywhere and have come to the conclusion that each tailor makes up their own names for the jackets they make which adds to the confusion. Does anyone have a view on this jacket naming and whether there should be an "official" list of designs?
