    Slightly off topic but does anyone know where the names of these jackets comes from? I thought it might be because people in the towns they are named after wore that style but I know, for instance, that Crail is a small fishing village in Fife not notable for kilt-wearing. I know too that what I call a Montrose doublet others call a Kenmore and what they call a Montrose I know as a Military doublet. I have never seen a definitive list of the various styles and have come to the conclusion that each tailor makes up their own names for the jackets they make which adds to the confusion. Does anyone have a view on this jacket naming and whether there should be an "official" list of designs?

    I've always enjoyed the detail of the Welsh Argyle. I went to Kiltstore clicked on Welsh Argyle and it looks like a Braemar but with tartan in the cuffs and pocket flaps. I always wondered if those tartan details could be changed (a la Velcro) to coordinate with the various different tartans we seem to collect.
