ID of this Black Watch jacket?
Picked this up a few years ago, and have worn it with pride, despite not knowing anything about it... It is heavy wool, appears to be kilt-cut, double-breasted, and lacking any and all identification tags. The only thing present is a care tag. Two outside pockets, one inside pocket, two-button cuffs, no tail cut, no Inverness tashes, etc. Does anyone know if this is military or ??? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Darryl

That's better. Definitely Black Watch/Sutherland/Campbell etc tartan but a civilian, not a military, jacket.

Very interesting.
I wonder if it was originally intended for Highland Dress or "Saxon" attire.
The waist seems rather low for a Highland Evening Dress jacket.
Also the cut looks like a casual fashion jacket, rather than the smart tailored cut one usually sees in Evening Dress jackets.
