Regulation Doublet on eBay

[OC Richard]

Yep that's cool, you don't see those very often.

That style, which we call nowadays the "regulation doublet", was called in the old days simply "the doublet", and was the most common kilt jacket from the mid-19th century well up into the 1930s, when the then-new "coatee" (which we call the "Prince Charlie") started taking over.

The style of lapel changed over the years. Originally the "doublet" had lapels like an ordinary suit coat of the time, usually, but would sometimes be seen with long formal lapels.

After the Prince Charlie came onto the scene, for whatever reason the makers changed the lapels, so that the Prince Charlie and the Doublet had the same style, low lapels usually made of satin. I've never cared for these latter-day Doublets, but prefer the earlier style.

There is this one on eBay as well, kind of a different variation on a Sheriffmuir

I much prefer the older style of lapels, as shown on this doublet of mine:

Very smart, Sandy. The addition of your crest to the doublet's round buttons makes it even more unique.

Cheers,

Where can one obtain buttons with one's crest? I'd love to have some made with my crest for my Sheriffmuir!

Ian Grant of Edinburgh can do it.

Ian Grant was of course my first choice, however without the requisite lottery win I was looking for a more economical option. I have been fortunate to have come across a livery button of my great-grandfather and wanted to find some one who could copy it and alter the coronet accordingly (and ecconomically). I have neither the old Earl's title nor wealth!

I was meaning more of this style of lapels, which appeared both on doublets which were cut to be fully buttoned in front



and doublets which were cut to only be buttoned at top, and curve away at the bottom
