That's a nice find Kyle and a good size most i've seen from that era are really small 36-38 chest

I agree. Some chaps sure were small back then! Yet with this size, I could fit into it!

In that vintage photo, because his arm is hiding the front edge of the jacket, I can't tell if it has Inverness skirts (like the traditional 19th century civilian doublet and modern Regulation Doublet) or if it's cut like an ordinary kilt jacket/Argyll jacket (that is, simply curving away from the sporran in front).

You see both in The Highlanders of Scotland.


That doublet for sale is lovely, here is one more or less similar



The style I really like is the one with the higher lapels, like a 19th century sack coat almost.

Sold for £112 plus postage a good deal for one lucky bod, did you go for it Kyle?

Good deal indeed. No, I did not. I thought about it, but decided not to in the end. Well done to the lucky chap!
