Where does the Balmoral Doublet fit in?

[Jock Scot]

I don't think it's their invention. I posted a number of 100 year old photos showing the same jacket (except for the Argyll cuffs).

Of course 100 years ago, even 50 years, each reasonably large town in Scotland would have at least one, if not three, tailors/kilt makers each with their own version of assorted jackets. Added to which those that could afford such, could probably add their own refinements, so the end result was there were many, many jackets about that almost fit a particular style, but not quite. Unlike the peas in the pod production line jackets of today.

I applaud anyone who has the foresight to try and ring the changes within certain parameters, but in reality it is just a variation on a theme.

If you would like, I can ask Niall where the pattern for that jacket came from. He is the owner of Highland Clans and we are in contact often.

Tuxedos are not as dear as you think MoR. You're paying over the odds mate. Feel the width of this delightful offering from our beloved ASDA

Sorry, I wouldn't be seen dead in one of those!

A tux? Sorry, I got caught up at "Skinnie Gwynnie".

Jock this is the Balmoral doublet from the Highland Clans site

Egad, looks like something they make the servants at Balmoral wear!! don't do it

Yeah ... the servants ... that's it.

[artificer]

interestingly enough, the bespoke page mentions that the doublet comes with a waistcoat.

If the jacket were worn open with the waistcoat, it WOULD look like a single-breasted Sheriffmuir.

I stand corrected. Not so bonnie Prince Charlie is the master and exemplar of kilt wearing. His touch with hose always a treat.
I was married in a daywear jacket copied from one of his. Gray worsted, no cuff or shoulder fluff.
My eveing wear is a regulation dub though.

uh.. that's probably because Sheriffmuir's are single breasted...
