I like the double breasted design. Do you know of a pattern for this? I'd like one of those myself.

I prefer the one on the left with the two rows of buttons, but with the gauntlet cuffs.

Readers;
The coat style is of the Mexican War Era. So a pattern would be easy to find. The gauntlet cuff is a style from circa 1750, and so also easy to find a pattern.
Another solution would be to buy the Workmans Coat Pattern(see my earlier thread on this,) add the band collar and gauntlet cuffs, since it is a doublet. The cuff detail on the left hand image is the sort on a P.C. coat, hence it would be, 'one degree of less formal' than the gauntlet on a Doublet.
In the proposed image, the double breasted coat is a circa 18th Century military style. The two lapels are sewn on the fronts, just for show. That coat would need a vest(weskit)to go with it. With the Workmans Coat, the fronts can be buttoned open or closed, which would give you some options of wearing different items with it.
It is a good idea; it could be made up in black wool, or even white linnen for summer wear. Amoung other fashion ideas we have lost(see the thread on black/coloured leathers)in our era, is the concept of a white summer formal wear attire. Sink me!if I would never wearablack wool doublet on a hot Flordia fancy dress ball!
But let us know how it progress.

Try to work it out so that you can either button the lapels back as you have shown, or to close the doublet, as in a Double Breasted one. It CAN be done and if you are starting from scratch, you simply need to engineer that in. If you are looking for a pattern, try this one:

I'll have the one one the left in burgundy velvet, and the one on the left in a deep dark green... So, well, if I really had to choose... yeah, one of each.
Very nice!
Cheers
