I'm looking for a used argyll style jacket with the traditional gauntlet cuffs. Size 42 or 44

Do they look like this?

R2

Gads, R2! Glad you posted the pix! I thought it was a jacket knitted like the argyle socks!! Lol, what's a "Yank" to know?

It's a Scottish thing about which I know nothing but Google came to my rescue. They are, I guess, made of wool so you could knit one but I guess you'd have to use very thin needles....

R2 asked "Do they look like this?"

Answer: Somewhat. The first picture ( black jacket with silver buttons ) is of a style called Prince Charlie. It includes a waistcoat and does not have the gauntlet cuffs of the argyll jacket.

so my picture of Prince Charles was inspired!

R2, it was simply intense!

One down - three to go.

Awww, sorry to hear you are down,rick!

That's a good one Mrs. M.

Jake, you gotta stop that laughing! It ain't nice!

Jake will need to change his dacks if he keeps laughing like that

Lexie, what is "dacks"?

grollies?

kecks?

shreddies?

Come on Mrs M, it's easy!

R2

Lol, R2! Thanks!

I remember from my childhood somewhere in Australasia a fad for ladies underwear (careful, I was only 9) called Witches' britches - these were a bit like cycling shorts and were coloured red with black trim round the legs - hmmm, strange they haven't made a comeback!

R2

Gee R2 - can I see a pic? I have no clue what you are talking about.

Then again, if you were 9, I wasnt even born, so there is no wonder I am cluesless...my Mum might have a pair, maybe I can start a new trend

My, that Rick sure has busy little finger going there!
