I just purchased this on Ebay. It was advertised as a broadsword Jacobite doublet. Has anyone seen the like before? I hadn't.




It's quite flat across the bottom with no cutaway to speak of for the sporran, which I suppose will fit between the flaps. It also appears to have rather short lapels for a kilt jacket, and four buttons up the front, rather than the usual three or five. It looks as if there are shells at the shoulders. It is made of black barathea.

Is it just an old-fashioned cut, a re-enactor piece, or a one of a kind imaginative design?

At any rate, the price and size were right. It looks as if it might be fun to wear.
