Jacobite Era Coat on display at NMS

[Luke MacGillie]

My guess as well, Im way down in the weeds on things like this, as you well known. For me, I have this thesis that early period Scots tailoring used just simple vents, not pleated tails like in other, English and Continental tailoring. Outside of Scotland, how the vents were done differentiated between what would be a sleeved waistcoat worn under another garment vs a jacket or actual coat.
