ID on a jacket please
I'm looking to buy this jacket from someone as I think it looks great!
It looks similar to an Argyll at the sleeves but there's 3 buttons at the centre and the pockets are further down with a different shapre to the base of the jacket.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

It looks to be an alter dinner jacket, but it sure looks good.

It seems similar to a Kenmore also - but one again the flaps dont really seem seperate on this jacket.

I see what you mean about the cutaway, but it has the basic elements of a regulation doublet, maybe it was converted from a tuxedo coat?
Here's a similar jacket on ebay; http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-REGULATI...d=p4634.c0.m14

Can you wear the doublet with a shirt and tie?

Shiny lapels Paul. That's a dickie-bow only job in my opinion. Nice Jacket though.

I thought that too but I could get some matching gold buttons put on a 5-button waistcoat and wear a ruche or cravat with it, right?

A ruche or cravat?? and you're the bloke that doesn't want to wear tweed? Blimey - that was a nice jacket you just got rid of by the way!
Ruche ties are for weddings only and cravats are for Edwardian pipe smokers. Bow ties are for any formal. You're limiting your options mate.
Then again, waddooeyeno.
