    These are what I consider to be Braemar cuffs on my tweed jacket. I don't know if the herringbone pattern shows up that well on the upload but that's what it is. I'm not sure what appears incongruous to you about this combination.

    The terminlogy for all this seems to be spongy, but I've heard the cuffs as appear on military doublets called "gauntlet cuffs" or "Argyll cuffs" and the cuffs such as appear on Prince Charlie jackets called "slash cuffs".

    I've seen both cuff styles on military doublets, and on tweed day jackets, and on black Argyll/Braemar/Crail pipe band jackets.

    In addition there's the old pointed cuffs, nowadays only seen on the doublets worn by the Atholl Highlanders.
