They're made of fine Barathea in dark green, dark blue, claret, etc and have Russia Braid button loops on the cuffs and flaps, quite elegant. (Tweed Day jackets and most black Argyll jackets have suggestions of button loops created out of the cloth gathered and sewn in a bead.)
Most Prince Charlies I see nowadays have grosgrain lapels rather than satin, but I can't remember if the Geoffrey dress Argylls have those.
