Kilt jackets

[Calgacus]

Ok, where to start!

Firstly, the Argyll, Braemar and Crail jackets are all essentially the same jacket, but with different detailing on cuffs and pockets. There isn't even consent amongst retailers as to which is which! There is no difference in formality between them, it's purely a matter of taste. To simplify things, we shall group these three jacket types under the label 'Argyll' from now on.

The tweed Argyll is the least formal, being the equivalent of a lounge suit. It is typically worn as day wear, or in the evening when a Saxon lounge suit might be worn. Harris tweed is sometimes called the 'Champagne of Tweeds', and I would question suggesting it is less formal than any other type of tweed. It is not a matter of formality, but one of quality.

The Argyll, when made of black Barathea wool, is the equivalent of the Saxon morning dress, and is suitable for formal day wear (weddings & such). It can also be worn as formal evening wear. Some say it's a little less 'formal' than a Prince Charlie, but on the other hand it can suit the larger built gentleman better than a PC.

The Prince Charlie coatee is the equivalent of a Tuxedo, suitable for evening formal (black tie) wear.

The Regulation Doublet is, I believe equivalent to a Prince Charlie.

The Sherrifmuir, Montrose, and Kenmore doublets are all suitable for formal (white tie) wear.

I think I've got it about right, though others may correct me. I hope I haven't glossed over too many details or made any gross errors.
