Jackets and waistcoats

[Bruce Scott]

Perhaps something like this three button jacket?

Thanks for the suggestion but the ones I'm thinking of have more buttons and a cut away for the sporran.

Thanks again.

House of Labhran sells a jacket that resembles that historic style.

A couple of these jackets have four to five buttons but may not be capable of being fully buttoned.

Thanks a million! Those are nearly identical to the jackets and waistcoats I was referring to. So, am I basically inquiring after a historical jacket and waistcoat that is no longer worn?

Thanks to all.

Yes, jthk, those are historical styles now.

Thanks!

I really like some of those styles ... they're not very different from modern jackets and waistcoats and probably wouldn't be too difficult to have one made although quite costly, I'd imagine.

On the figure of Allan Murray (standing next to Mr. Drummond), he appears to be wearing a waistcoat of somewhat antiquated style. It would appear to button all the way to the throat, and the style of laced pock flaps and the "V" opening on the bottom are of the type that was popular during the 4th quarter of the 18th century (give or take a few years earlier or later). With regard to Mr. Murray's jacket, it appears to be of conventional early 19th century style (2nd quarter and later), and looks like an early ancestor of today's Argyll jacket.

The waistcoat can be had (or you can make one yourself from a pattern) as supplied by reenactor vendors. The jacket pattern can probably be had from historical supply houses, and you would have to have it made by yourself or your tailor.

Thanks, Orvis!

I'm trying to find a picture that OC Richard posted in a recent thread but I'm failing -- it was the black and white photograph detailing several kilted folks from the late 1800s, I think, with a clearly cut-and-pasted photograph of a young kilted boy. If I can find that photo, I'll link.
