point cuff kilt jacket

[OC Richard]

I don't remember if I've come across this before: a modern tweed kilt jacket done with a point cuff.

It's on Ebay right now. Here it is



Though the military doublets had either slash or gauntlet cuffs, pointed cuffs show up on the shell jacket




Point cuffs do show up on Highland jackets in The Highlanders Of Scotland.



And point cuffs are one of several oldfashioned aspects of the uniform of The Atholl Highlanders

I really like that! In fact, I had been wondering to myself if anyone still made that type of jacket.

What appeals to me is that the pointed cuff adds a nice bit of detail while still being more streamlined than the buttons and piping of a typical gauntlet cuff. I also like the flat (rather than braided) epaulettes and the plain pockets (rather than scalloped and covered with buttons) for the same reason.

And here's another MacLeay portrait with a similar jacket:

Too bad it doesn't have other measurements given. I do think it is a braw jacket, albeit out of my price range.

here's another MacLeay portrait with a similar jacket:

A little hard to tell, but that looks like round cuffs, in other words cuffs that are the same height all around, or a gentle angle.

Here are two more MacLeay jackets with point cuffs. The one of the left is particularly interesting, having braid not dissimilar to Civil War officers. The one on the right has the typical point and three buttons.

Many Canadian military dress jackets have point cuffs. And while Highland dress jackets have Gauntlet cuffs, the blue serge undress jackets have point cuffs. White tropical dress jackets, highland or otherwise, which tend to be fairly plain in nature, also have point cuffs. I think they add a bit of an "official" air to a plainer jacket.

I can't see the pictures in the first post, not even a link, but I can see the pictures in following posts. Any advice?

'Have one quite similar to the first post, including colour and wool texture (great photo, btw). However, it has a number of square, silver-hue metal buttoms, 3 per cuff, one in front, 3 each (pointed, scalloped) pocket flap, one small on each shoulder strap.

A bit more busy and gaudy than personally preferred (now), but there was at-event enthusiasm which makes those bits self-inflicted wounds, no sympathy there for.

Sorry, no maker's name or even size, on it. Thought is, the vendor has a tailor who makes them.

Ordered at / paid for, bespoke-to-measure, Chicago highland festival 2013 from a vendor with tent and bunch of pipes-oriented stuff, link is below.

The more I keep going back to look at that pointed cuff tweed kilt jacket, the more I like it!

Upon reflection, and further inspection of the seller's photos, I think we may have a tweed Kilkenny jacket here. Previously, I've only seen such jackets offered in barathea, either green or black. Judging by the Hibernian surname of the monogram on the jacket in question, Mike O'Byrne, it is a reasonable guess that it was intended to reflect an Irish spin on kilted attire, no?
