The old-fashioned bespoke tailors each gave their jackets their own names. I have what my tailor calls a Montrose doublet but others would call a Kenmore. The same tailor calls his Montrose-type doublet a Military doublet. The mass-market retailers, however, seem to have settled on a fairly standard set of names for the different styles, all based on Scottish place-names, none of which have any particular relevance to the jacket concerned.
