A few jacket pictures
Harris tweed jacket, Crail cuffs. Worn with matching tweed waistcoat.

Glen Tilt "tweed" jacket. This is really a worsted wool, not a tweed cloth. Isla Mill calls this line of patterns "tweeds" because they were inspired by estate tweed patterns. This one has Argyle cuffs. The fact that is is a worsted cloth, rather than a tweed, and is made with silver-tone buttons rather than horn, makes is a slightly more dressy jacket than the Harris Tweed one pictured above.

Another Argyle jacket, made just like the one above only in a solid color worsted wool, and with imitation horn buttons.

This is the exact make and cut of the above jacket, but instead of an olive green worsted wool, it is made of black wool, and the buttons are silver-tone, not horn. The choice of cloth and buttons make this jacket far more suitable to dressing up for formal functions.

But because the cut of the jacket is still the less-formal "argyle" style, the same jacket can be dressed down to wear for a more formal daywear setting, as we see below, by changing details such as tie, hose, sporran, etc.
