I understand what MoR was saying, which that it was an ordinary Argyll jacket buttoned at the collar. I was pointing out that the Argyll jackets I see today have a collar, which seems to be absent from this picture, as well as a lower button/buttonhole, also apparently absent.

My opinion, FWIW, is that this jacket is deliberately styled to be buttoned as shown. But you know what they say about opinions.. .
