Of course 100 years ago, even 50 years, each reasonably large town in Scotland would have at least one, if not three, tailors/kilt makers each with their own version of assorted jackets. Added to which those that could afford such, could probably add their own refinements, so the end result was there were many, many jackets about that almost fit a particular style, but not quite. Unlike the peas in the pod production line jackets of today.

I applaud anyone who has the foresight to try and ring the changes within certain parameters, but in reality it is just a variation on a theme.
