OCR, as usual, you have provided us with lovely illustrations. But look at the gent's coatee, if you will, in the top picture. It has bucket cuffs and fewer buttons than we have come to expect on the front of a PC. AND, the formal vest appears to have five buttons, despite its low stance.

I had to check, but I have examined five different PC jackets and four of them have "self" fabric lapels, i.e., neither satin nor faille, but the same fabric as the rest of the coat. Again, your dapper gent departs, with decidedly shiny lapels.

The Kinloch Anderson Coatee has a similar button arrangement ( i.e., single breasted) but has neither the shiney lapels nor the bucket cuffs

Anyone care to comment further?

What about those shiny lapels- U or Non U?

Or might we ask T or non-T?

Oh, and by the way, do check out the length of the checkered argyll. I realize it is a painting, but the skirts appear to be about as long as the sleeves. Again, I have limited resources, but a quick check reveals most modern kilt jackets tend to be several inches shorter than the sleeves. Or am I wrong again?
