Argyll? Vest? Waistcoat? what's in a name

[meinfs]

Thanks for the enlightenment. See, I didn't ask because I didn't know, so thanks for thinking ahead.

Thanks again RockyR and cavscout!

Aren't you going to ask about Braemar Jackets and Crail Jackets?

To jump the gun on those, I can give a small explanation:

They BOTH have the same "body" of an Argyll Jacket... the only difference is in the sleeves.

"Vest" is the American English word for the British English "waistcoat". There are different types of vest/waistcoat, but those two words mean the same thing, a sleeveless coat worn under the jacket and usually ending at the waist.
