Edited to add: I think that this seller must just think that all "scottish" styled jackets are called "prince charlies".

The first one is truly horrid, but look at item location:
Item location:
Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan
As for the second and third, while they are not Prince Charlies they appear to be Pipers Doublets. This seems to happen quite a bit when these items are being sold outside of Scotland as these are. Again caveat emptor comes to mind.

I personally appreciate the artful way it was staged and photographed. 
Nothing says "Attention to Detail" like throwing it on a hanger and not even bothering to notice that it's in a gigantic LUMP.

Yes it looks very strange in that photo. I wonder what it would look like worn by a person that it sort of fits.

Would that be a person with a matching gigantic LUMP?

At least it isn't likely to be a "stolen" photo!

Now we see why they do prefer to use stolen photos!

They just described it wrong. Perhaps this would be better:
"Elegant, one-of-a-kind Prince Charlie jacket that combines classic Scottish styling with fun, fashion-forward details sure to draw comment at your next Burns Night dinner! Handcrafted in Quetta by one of a long line of tailors, it is almost certain that you will not wear this sturdy jacket out! See our other listings for white hose and a full selection of ruche ties to round out your festive Caledonian ensemble."
Cordially,
Patrick
