I have always liked the more contemporary jacket styles, myself. our own Steve Ashton and his Freedom Kilts has a contemporary jacket and vest that forgoes the cuff and epaulets..I have wanted one for sometime now.

Without causing a stir, I know the Kilkenny jackets.. the Irish style Argylls come with brass buttons, so its possible other jackets could come with them also.

I have enjoyed this thread immensely, and as stated previously, I have bought items to "copy" the way the Duke dresses.. my diced topped hose are directly a result from seeing this thread.. I plan on watching and learning to dress stylishly, while keeping it relatively simple.. as thats how I see modern Highland fashion.
