Timeline of Evening Dress Jackets

[Hirsty]

Does anyone know when the Sherrifmuir doublet first appeared, my Googling isn't good enough to find any results? Thanks.

A wee anecdote regarding the Sherrifmuir - I do recall a rather crabbit auld chap in a Perth kilt shop denying all knowledge of this style of doublet. When I showed him a picture on my 'phone (I think he found the use of technology offensive) he said in a rather perturbed and unconvincing manner "I've never seen anything like that before! I wouldn't even know where to get a pattern for such a thing."
This led me to believe that he had seen it before but saw it as some modern monstrosity.
I went to another shop and had one tailor made. I love it. That shop, which is now a tattoo parlour, missed out on my business and once I find a highland outfitter that I am comfortable with I tend to be very loyal.
Anyway, long story short, it must be rather new fangled to get such a response.
