I also love that look, and I don't think that cuffs would be too much as long as they aren't extremely wide! I have a blazer in BlackWatch with solid black lapels, and I think the reverse would look gorgeous!
Prince Charles is definitely a snappy dresser and always wears his kilt like a true gentleman (knees together when sitting, everything neat and clean, etc.) I agree with Matt Newsome about the mixing of leathers and metals being a guideline rather than a hard and fast rule! (Of course, don't even suggest the same idea about the white shoes rule to a true Southerner! )

Thanks so much for the pictures! I have a friend from Bristol, England, who sent me pictures years ago - I will have to make the effort to dig them up and scan them in!
