Wastcoats and Jackets

[Kilted Rogue]

Thank you Woodsheal and Zardoz. i am looking to do a cross between the Rob Roy look but give it a modern look as i can wear it out to the local store or any place i normally wear my kilts. I have a "ren faire Doublet" that i thought of using as a pattern and cut the waist a little higher.

Woodsheal do you have any photo's( taken in modern times) of clothing from that era? (the rob roy era that is)

Here's a pic of my friend Hank in a short coat with "bucket" cuffs, appropriate for a highland gentleman of the 1715 Rising (in which Rob Roy participated) and the following decade or so....



This page has photos of two original short "common man's" jackets found in Scottish graves. It's a pirate website, but the garments are not seamen's, but rather quite representative of the short coats worn by highland clansmen with their kilts:
