Ghillie (or Gillie) Collar - Gil-i - Named after a Highland Chief’s attendant. This is when a jacket can be done up at the neck, like a coat , keeping the Scottish weather out and giving the jacket its name.
"Sometimes when
caught outside in bad weather in a lapelled jacket and nothing over
it, its wearer may unfold the lapels and hold them that way to
temporarily reproduce the ancestral to-the-neck closure."
