I think I know what a Prince Charlie jacket is (the black formal jackets with those shiny buttons).

Sorry that I'll make you all backtrack to the basics, but can anyone enlighten with pictures and words the differences between argyll, vests and waistcoats. I've seen lots of pictures of kilt outfits but what are the specific features of these items to be called such. Thanks.

anything else?


Perhaps a sticky with the glossary of terms would be useful to newbies?
