    Yes that has a diagram of three different cuff styles (gauntlet, slash, and plain) with three different names (Argyll, Braemar, and Crail) but be forewarned that the various makers are not in agreement with what names refer to what styles.

    House of Edgar, for example, calls their jacket with gauntlet cuffs "Braemar" and at least one maker calls the same thing "Craill".

    Kilt jackets in check tweed, plain tweed, black Barathea, and coloured Barathea are all available with any of the three cuff styles and it's simply a matter of personal preference.
