I agree with you about the King, but Lord Lovat's jacket seems to me to be a possible conversion. Yes, the pockets seem to be as high as his arm will allow, but I am not convinced. Placing the pockets higher might make them slightly awkward, but they would look much more "normal". I think there is a proportion to be observed, that the width of the flap ought not to be (even close to) equal to the width of the space beneath it. Note the rest of his jacket- no epaulets, no fancy cuffs. The button stance is consistent with a 2 button sportcoat. But I don't know. He never discussed it with me.
Is there a tie breaker in the house?
