    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.

    Regards

    Re: Ideas For A Doublet for Myself????

    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.

    Re: Ideas For A Doublet for Myself????

    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

    Michael
