Unusual Prince Charlie

[gilmore]

Here is something I have never seen before: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-PRINCE...QQcmdZViewItem

It's a Prince Charlie jacket with flaps in the front. The tail is also not like those commonly seen today. The ad says it is vintage, but does not give the period.

It looks like it may be a Regulation Doublet as shown here:

However, some of the more fashion knowledgeable will give better information.

Yes, I would agree that the presence of the Inverness flaps on the front marks it as a regulation doublet, not a PC.

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Looks like a Regulation Doublet to me. Nice the way the front and back are finished, a bit more stylish than a Prince Charlie coatee with Inverness flaps tacked on a la Mr. G's offering.

[Jock Scot]

Yes I agree, it is a Regulation Doublet.

[Phil]

Yes, definitely a regulation doublet. Here's a picture -

Considering the cost of regulation doublets, that seems to be a pretty sweet deal!

[Nick the DSM]

get it, man. thats a pretty good deal for a PC.

[Ruanaidh]

Possibly worn by PM William Gladstone himself.

And for a few seconds, I was thinking, "I wonder what band he was pipe major of?"
