Thanks, all for your thoughts , especially Jock Scot, for your story. I was inspired in part by reading an earlier post from Ted Crocker and I thank you here.

These are the doublets and jackets I can think of:
1) Argyle jacket
2) "stripped down" Argyle jacket ( no gauntlet cuffs, no epaulets, plain pockets)
3) Prince Charlie
4) Regulation doublet
5) Sheriffmuir doublet
6) Montrose doublet
7) ( Not sure what this is called- a Balmoral?) Single Breasted, with flaps and lapels
8) Single breasted with military collar and flaps all round ( Piper's doublet)
9) Dress Mess/ Eton / Bum freezer / Spencer

Presumably, one could put flaps on or take flaps off of just about anything, one could make most of them in velvet or wool ( solid or tartan), one could cut the tartan on the square or on the bias, one could add contrasting facings, either solid or tartan. If the garment has lapels, they can be notched, peaked or shawl. I have seen jackets that look like the Montrose, worn open and buttoned back ( like an 18th century military jacket.) And I am sure I have left out more than I have named. I'd be grateful to see pictures and additional types posted.


I recognize that most of those same options ( SB or DB, lapels, number of buttons) are available in Saxon formal wear, but they tend to cluster a lot more.

Yr humble, &c,
