The ideal time for the black argyll

[Pipersson]

While I too am in agreement that the Modern Argyll is appropriate for formal attire, the picture shown does display a jacket that has some form of Inverness flaps as pockets. Perhaps one of our more knowledgeable members can comment further.

Liam, to me it seems just to be the pocket flaps a bit bigger tha we know today but it would interest me too...also if there might have been Argylls with satin lapels.
(I do have the impression that round 1900 the jacket styles had a bigger variety depending on the wearer's and the tailor's personal style.)
In any case I prefer an Argyll because i don't think the high cut and the tails of the PC are very harmonic. In this style the regulation doublet is more what I would wish.

Cheers,

Tom
