ID on a jacket please

I see what you mean about the cutaway, but it has the basic elements of a regulation doublet, maybe it was converted from a tuxedo coat?

Here's a similar jacket on ebay; http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-REGULATI...d=p4634.c0.m14

It seems a very similar jacket to the ebay link you posted. Probably just a slightly different layout.
Can you wear the doublet with a shirt and tie?

Shiny lapels Paul. That's a dickie-bow only job in my opinion. Nice Jacket though.

I thought that too but I could get some matching gold buttons put on a 5-button waistcoat and wear a ruche or cravat with it, right?

A ruche or cravat?? and you're the bloke that doesn't want to wear tweed? Blimey - that was a nice jacket you just got rid of by the way!

Ruche ties are for weddings only and cravats are for Edwardian pipe smokers. Bow ties are for any formal. You're limiting your options mate.

Then again, waddooeyeno.

I know. As I paid for the postage I sort of regretted it! I've got plenty of other jackets though and I've got a green one for sale at the moment.
I've got a lot of weddings coming up ;) more weddings than anything else really. The jacket comes with a 3 button wiastcoat and it look similar to a Prince Charlie. I'm sure if I'm not too keen on it when it comes I can sell it and get my money back!
Both my grampas smoked pipes since their teens - in the early 20th century. It's in my bloodline!
