Looking for a specific jacket...

[Quart Bernstein]

Note: NOT going for period correct

The rabble has pulled me out of a ditch before
So i've scavenged the internet, read the Jacobite thread for this jacket and found nothing that was appealing. Spent my Sunday researching.

What i'm looking for:


I've looked at leather and wool, jacobite, and all the modern jacket's/waist coat's; but been unsatisfied to the clean cut and modern looking jacket's. This include's what I found in the Jacobite thread.
(Sent an e-mail to the website owner. Not sure whether still active though.)
If this help's, looking for something with the shoulder cap's, tweed or rougher, like in the picture, wool, a simple design, and slightly fitted.

The answer's that would help:
1) A maker or other picture's of the design.
2) A description or label to what it is actually called.
PS: I cannot, for the life of me, sew.



Alternatively, if this fail's, I was looking for a jacket like this:

I found something I think that look's similar:

Again, looking for identification or a maker of the jacket. I believe this one is called a cutaway jacket. Not sure if that's entirely correct.


Finally, just an extra. I am not a big fan of forum's, usually feeling they are just a waste of time.
I want to extend a big thank's to the feeling of laid back productivity I have found in this forum however.
I find my self repeatedly returning here to read and help.
The creative process work's by an environmental openness that this forum really well emphasize's.

Hello, having done some reenactment from different time periods hope this is helpful. The first two pics look like a reenactor from some time between the Elizabethan and English Civil War time period, try doing searches for Elizabethan doublets or ECW jacket. The painting looks like a civilian cut of a military jacket from the mid 1700's, it could be a little earlier, I'm not sure exactly when front facings on a jacket came into popularity. Search for French and Indian War or Revolutionary War civilian jackets. Also check out Townsend and Son's website, they are a very good reenactment supply vendor. Th last picture just looks like a standard riding jacket. Hope this helps -Tommy

I would call the jacket in the last picture a 'Hacking Jacket'.

The first example would be very easy to sew. Even if you are all thumbs, surely you know someone who is fairly handy with a sewing machine?
Fabric of almost any description can be had very reasonably on Ebay.

Medevilcollectibles.com also does renactment garments for decent prices, just don't look at their kilts or do because the are outrageous. To me the first jacket looks like a plain doublet like stated before, me personally like the look of the Scott's Guard jackets in a navy blue.
