Tradition of Non-Cookie-Cutter Kilt Jackets?

[Bugbear]

Thanks for posting this question; I've been wondering about this as well and am very interested to hear the responses.

I am continually surprised by the varioty of kilt jackets that come up in the Traditional Highland Attire threads; I mean that in a good way.

It's been pointed out by the Highland attire traditionalists, for example, that it doesn't matter a whole lot whether the daywear jacket has a one, two, or three button closure. I started this thread partly in response to another thread discussing a PC without the double row of buttons on the sides, and a three button closure.

It's interesting and a bit refreshing in a world where three button suits are more formal than two button suits and people obsess over other people's shoulder pad size and lapel width.
