After having seen plenty of the other evening doublets in various shades of velvet, I took to wondering how a regulation doublet or prince Charlie (since the cut is the same minus differences in tashes, tails and cuffs) would look if the black fabric were not wool but black velvet. (Or another color, possibly), I have seen these jackets in blue & red (but in wool).

do you think it would look strange? Is there any historical precedent using velvet for these two specific garments?

let me know thoughts & pictures if possible please!
