Unusual PC Jacket...

[Glen]

Have any of you come across this type of combo (black lapel facings, black epaulettes)?

Nothing wrong with the jacket style, or colour. Great find...

Tartan waistcoat, lace cuffs and bold striped hose. He's not doing too bad although a trip to the cobbler to fix his shoe buckle wouldn't go astray. ;)

Yes, I thought that at first, too, but if you look closely, there's nowt wrong with the shoe buckle.

Very nice PC there! You'll stand out from the crowd. I love high quality vintage things like that.

I've seen a number of interesting combinations being sold by Geoffrey Tailors, one was an Archer Green Argyll jacket with black braided epaulettes and the cuffs done in a different way than one usually sees: instead of the fabric of the cuff itself being gathered and stitched to create a bead that runs the length of the cuff under each button, each button had a loop of black Russia braid, sewn exactly like the white, gold, or silver braid loops seen on military No1 Dress/Full Dress doublets. It really elevated the Argyll to a lovely Evening Dress jacket.

Faith and Begorrah! The Hollywood image of the Irish!
