Still not sold. Make me an offer!

The first from R W Forsyth's catalogue and simply described as a doublet. The second, if I remember correctly, is a museum artifact and no name is given to the doublet.

One wonders to what extent his clothing reflects the exaggeration so often seen in actors costumes.

Almost a Sheriffmuir doublet in a 1909 catalogue. Only the stand-up collar may be missing. However, it's simply described as a doublet and vest.

Queen and Saint Margaret tends to be remembered here in South and North Queensferry because our towns owe their names to her endowment of a ferry to take pilgrims (and we assume traders) across the...

I think it's all been said. An excellent first attempt. Shorten sleeves and increase the sporran cut-out ....sorted! Many modern kilt jackets have the shape of the one you are wearing. Earlier...

They are not common with day wear Nathan but I have seen 2 or 3. I guess that in Scotland we dress for the weather so if it was cooler then more jackets would have been worn and if really cold then...

As a minister in Scotland I have been involved in rather a lot of Scottish weddings, usually in a medieval Priory but once in a castle. Kilted men are common, sometimes in tweeds and sometimes in...
