Names for kilt jackets

[Phil]

Does anyone know where the names of the various kilt jackets come from? I originally posted a reply about this elsewhere but it passed unnoticed. I originally thought it might be because people in the towns they are named after wore that style but I know, for instance, that Crail is a small fishing village in the east neuk of Fife where kilt-wearing is pretty well non-existent and I have never seen anyone in Braemar wearing that style of jacket in many visits there. I know too that what I call a Montrose doublet others call a Kenmore and what they call a Montrose I know as a Military doublet. I have never seen a definitive list of the various styles anywhere and have come to the conclusion that each tailor makes up their own names for the jackets they make which adds to the confusion. Does anyone have a view on this jacket naming and whether there should be an "official" list of designs?

In my experiance,tailors have always been a law unto themselves and I rather think that getting them to come up with a standard set of names for the various styles of jacket might be asking too much.It would be helpful though!I have always been led to believe,perhaps wrongly,that the original Argyll style of jacket was a West Highland cut of coat whilst the original Braemar style was an Eastern Highland cut.I well remember,in my youth, going to see a tailor(sadly long gone) in Fort William to see about having a Braemar jacket made and being told,by him, in no uncertain terms that I was to have an Argyll jacket or not at all.
