Jacket types

[Bugbear]

Well, I've read that first part, describeing the jackets, before, but I hadn't read the part about the PC. I mean it really says you have to wear them with a PC.

They say a belt is worn with the Kenmore Doublet. That's interesting.

It's not the only time I was wrong yesterday, or even disagreed with, but I rate that scalloped cuff, which comes directly from a uniform tunic, as military in origin and feel. Military and tweed do not seem to belong in the same category to my tiny brain, but see above. We haven't even opened the can of worms marked EPAULETTES yet,

oops.

No, you don't have toTed. In fact, I suggest the only place for ghillie brogues, is the bin.

along with the white hose

Just my taste here, but I do not care for kilt jackets without epaulettes. The style of epaulette, however, varies with the jacket. On Argyll or Braemer, they can be either cloth or braided cord. I prefer the cloth for the Crail. As I said above, it is just my taste.

BTW I also like shirts with epaulets if I am not wearing a jacket with my kilt. Perhaps it is my connexion with the military, or because I live in a military town.

Here is a graphic I have posted before. It is 'borrowed' from the Lochcarron catalog.

Thank you very much all. This is exactly what I was looking for. I definately have a starting place now.

Well Locharron can call them that but not everyone does.

I just went on a House of Edgar site and they have:

"Argyll" a black jacket with plain cuffs.

"Crail" a charcoal grey jacket with Prince Charlie cuffs.

Not on the site, but I used to work at a Highland outfitter which carried House of Edgar jackets and they referred to the black jacket with gauntlet cuffs as their "Braemar" jacket.

What fun, I had never noticed that!

"Crail" a charcoal grey jacket with Prince Charlie cuffs.

Best of all, if you examine the tag in the inside breast pocket of that "Crail" which we would generally call a "Braemar" you will find that it's identified as "ARG"

It's a very nice jacket, by any name.

And I got a jacket from Slanj last week (in a dark charcoal) that has the "Braemar" style from that graphic on the cuff & pockets...but no epaulettes.

The receipt said it was a "Crail".

I'm not fussed what it's supposed to be called though, because it was exactly what I was after.

My dear Sir,
Ghillie brogues shall never see the inside of my dustbin..............for they will never be allowed to enter my premises far enough to reach the dustbin!
