Thanks!
I really like some of those styles ... they're not very different from modern jackets and waistcoats and probably wouldn't be too difficult to have one made although quite costly, I'd imagine.

On the figure of Allan Murray (standing next to Mr. Drummond), he appears to be wearing a waistcoat of somewhat antiquated style. It would appear to button all the way to the throat, and the style of laced pock flaps and the "V" opening on the bottom are of the type that was popular during the 4th quarter of the 18th century (give or take a few years earlier or later). With regard to Mr. Murray's jacket, it appears to be of conventional early 19th century style (2nd quarter and later), and looks like an early ancestor of today's Argyll jacket.
The waistcoat can be had (or you can make one yourself from a pattern) as supplied by reenactor vendors. The jacket pattern can probably be had from historical supply houses, and you would have to have it made by yourself or your tailor.

Thanks, Orvis!
I'm trying to find a picture that OC Richard posted in a recent thread but I'm failing -- it was the black and white photograph detailing several kilted folks from the late 1800s, I think, with a clearly cut-and-pasted photograph of a young kilted boy. If I can find that photo, I'll link.

Orvis: reflecting back at those illustrations, I'd say I'm after something that the Johns Stewart and Robertson appear to be wearing.

Jthk,
The 5-button waistcoat on the figure of Mr. Stewart appears to be very similar to those sold today with day-dress and Argyll jackets. Shouldn't be a problem to obtain.
The jacket he is wearing appears to be of a style that is available from today's vendors. Again, it shouldn't be hard to obtain one.

YES! Thanks, Richard!
So, if one were to look at the copy/pasted ghost-child and then look at the man on the left. THAT'S the jacket I was thinking of: very similar to today's but it's designed to be buttoned up further than today's 2 or 1 button jackets. I think I count at least 4 buttons on this one.
Gracias, Richard.

If you find that child, then look at the first man to the left of the child. That's the jacket!
