Peter - Great article as usual! As you mentioned, the amount of red in the sett probably indicates that the coat/waistcoat were made for a well-to-do person. From the photos, it appears to me that the style of 1780's-1790's coat wasn't that different from the 1740's Culloden coat that you once wrote about. This coat has longer tails and a collar, but otherwise appears the same in cut and methodology. IMHO, it was obviously made by a town tailor.
I look forward to reading more of your work in the future!
