ID on a jacket please

That is your standard "regulation doublet" and, judging from the details that can be seen in the photo, it was probably made just before WWII or shortly after, possibly as late as the 1960s-- back in the days when it wasn't possible to buy Highland tat on the high street. My guess is that the buttons are silver plate (although sterling silver buttons aren't uncommon) and I would advise against replacing them-- new buttons will just look cheap.

Just because you are getting the doublet on the cheap doesn't mean it isn't valuable-- check out the price of a new one at Kinloch Anderson. It isn't a day wear jacket, and if worn as such the wearer would look like a real Wally.

My advice would be to buy it, and then start looking for a nice civilian hair sporran.

The only pictures I can find dont have hair sporrans in the picture. It would certainly require a full dress sporran obviously though.

Paul,

If you want to change the buttons, sell me the old ones.

I'm serious.


Best,
