I have purchased from this business at a Games last year. I didn't notice any clothing items, but then I wasn't looking for that.

I looked but couldn't find a crail jacket at this site either.

Tommy,
Since the Stone Mountain games is a few weeks away, I recommend you wait and check out the vendors there. You will be able to try on different sizes and examine the workmanship before you part with your money.

Tommy, the crail is the type of sleve cuff you choose; the rest of the jacket is the same. [So looke at the cuff options here J. Higgins, Ltd. -- Daywear Outfit. That's the link given before.
They don't name them crail or argyle, so here is a thread that explains the cuff differences, and why it is so confusing.
JamieKerr's thread "Crail vs. Argyle."
Different jacket makers call them different names and it gets mixed up.

Good advice. I may even have my kilt by then so I can check the color as well.

Thanks Ted. I'll surf on over and have a look.

Well, the price is pretty good for a set (jacket and vest). Not much choices in colours though. This blue tweed is an unusual colour.
Argylls, Braemars, Crails, and modern are all determined by the ornamentation on the cuffs. This is lacking the cuff ornamentation, which is sort of a plus in my opinion. It could be a crail with only one button.
Actually, I prefer the modern kilt jacket which is more of a sportcoat without the epaulettes and cuff ornamentation.
Not sure how they are doing this at this price. There must be a catch!

It looks a very smart outfit but I suppose until you try it on you won't know just how good it is.

I feel somewhat the same way, and a matching five button waistcoat could be added to make it a bit like a suit. That would be for dressy day and evening wear, but not something formal. Like if I ever end up at any formal events.
