Several makers in India and Pakistan make doublets. They cost in the $120-150 range. Beware! Some look great, some look strange. It's not a matter, always, of picking the right company, because the same company might make ones that look like traditional Scottish-made doublets, and ones that have strangely shaped features. There's a guy in Canada, his business is called Glengarry Hats, who re-sells these. Here's a thread I started on another forum some time back, a guide to the traditional tailoring of genuine Scottish-made doublets, and several example of ugly mutant doublets http://forums.bobdunsire.com/forums/...d.php?t=118699 Real military doublets, which were introduced into the army in 1855, have elegantly-shaped cuffs and flaps
