Two vent or not to vent
Ok cheesy title!
I was looking on the picture thread of HRH Prince Charles. It is a great thread and since I have been wearing a kilt Charles and Philip have been the guide. I also loved the bias cut Balmoral waistcoat with the Royal Stuart kilt Philip was wearing in the last picture, I would not have thought of mixing the two tartans but he pulled it off with class. I like the look but am not for sure about the dress Stuart Charles was wearing.
Now to the point of this post
I noticed in one of the pictures where he was wearing the blackish charcoal day jacket that when he was turned around the jacket appeared to have no vents. You all know that typically a day jacket has double vents and all the saxon jackets that I have had cut into day jackets I have put double vents in.
Is HRH not following convention? Has the convention changed? Did the picture just appear that there were no vents?
I think the double vents are a nice detail and with a saxon jacket they have the purpose of hiding your '****' when sticking your hands in your pockets. With a kilt they really have no purpose.
I was just curious if anyone noticed and your thoughts on the matter.
