Jacket types

[Bugbear]

Well, sort of, but not necessarily......Early on, military uniforms and their fancy cuffs and rows of buttons on the front were in fact, inspired by civilian dress frock-coats of the 17th and 18th century. What happened was that while the military adopted these details from civilian styles, the civilian styles went on to evolve away from the fancy cuffs and lapels, whereas the military kept them. Then, when the craze for Highland attire returned in the early 19th century, the civilian form of dress copied the military (since the kilt had been preserved solely as part of regimental military uniform during proscription).

That's interesting, I hadn't heard that about the jackets and doublets before.
