    1930's Vintage Regulation Doublet on ebay

    They don't make them like this anymore: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1939-Traditi...item51a39a64a0

    Unfortunately I doubt a grown man could wear it

    Yes the squared-off flaps are very interesting, you see those sometimes in 19th century doublets. But this Regulation Doublet has the more modern Prince Charlie-style lapels. My favourite doublets are the earlier ones with the smaller lapels, here seen in 1896
