But being (presumably) made of a lovely green wool with rather normal-shaped lapels but having no collar, its style could also be very visually suitable for less-than-formal occasions. Opinions?
If the wool were fine green barathea, I'd say a jacket like that would be quite formal by today's standards. It would resemble other doublets without falling into any named type, which would mean it would be suitable for black or white tie events.

If on the other hand, it were done in a coarser green tweed, I feel like it would bring down the level of formality. This would put it about on the same level as a dress Argyll: suitable for formal daywear, dressy evening wear, or black tie. I believe Matt Newsome has a Sherriffmuir done up in grey tweed, as an example.
