Question on a Jacket

[Cygnus]

I've posted this photo here before, but it further illustrates the look of the modern regulation doublet:



I'm not as stylish as Gordon Walker, but you can see the silk facings, longer lapels/opening, and low-cut waistcoat pretty well. The one difference in mine that harkens back more to the older style is that the buttons are "to close", or along the open edge of one side only and opposed by (false) button holes on the other. This is different from the current practice in most regulation doublets of mimicking the formal tailcoat and putting decorative buttons down both sides of the front, likely to appear as though the jacket is double-breasted.

The doublets in the image in the OP's link look more like a hybrid between this and the modern Sheriffmuir Doublet, so if you like the tashes (or Inverness flaps) and lapels, the regulation doublet is for you, but if the thing that draws you to the doublets in the picture is the high-buttoned front exposing a higher-fastening waistcoat, you may find a Sheriffmuir is more to your taste. That, or you could take out a second mortgage and have a professional tailor make one just like in the pictures!
