Have Fun,

To be accurate, note that I never said a thing about the number of buttons; that was from someone else's post. Neither did I say anything about contemporary kilts, a topic which has nothing to do with the topic of military doublets.

What I did say was that oftentimes people nowadays like to wear their kilts lower that was done in the old days, than is still done in the Army, and that Indian and other "overseas" doublet makers have catered to that by making imitation military doublets with lower waists than one would ever see in Scottish-made military style doublets.

So they say that that doublet is a reproduction of an antique one? I'll wager the old genuine one has the standard military high waist.
