Wow, Thank you incredibly much. Several years ago I made a frock coat from period lofting instructions such as these. I had been planning to cut down the pattern for a kilt jacket but now this is much better. I have some black Pendleton wool left over which should do nicely. Again thank you.

Im saving bandwidth by not quoting the link and it's pics again, but looking at the coatee that is pictured there, i guess we can see why the prince charlie of today has 4 buttons on each of the tails too... Gotta love fashion... From form and function to decoration...
