check out the tiny gent in the upper left hand corner of this page: http://www.highlandclans.co.uk/Kilt_..._Doublets.html
It may be a red dress mess, but it is certainly red. When I rule the world, I will be sure to take very good care of the guys in the harlequin PCs. http://www.highlandclans.co.uk/HLI118.gif

When I get mine, I'll be counting on you.

You could always email him at sales@highlandclans.co.uk and ask about a bespoke PC in a red material similar to the one in the corner you mention.

Have you searched under the title "hunting pinks/pinque"? A friend of mine has a beautiful red tailcoat that he purchased from Huntsman London, it is a great variation at formal affairs. He had a lesser expensive one he purchased before the good one from Huntsman. I am not sure where he got that one.
Another option would be Ravistailor.com a Thailand custom tailor(don't laugh). I have had one blazer cut by them several years ago and it was not Saville Row but not bad. Their quality has improved since then. The same friend as I mentioned above has had several "very custom" items made by them(Think Duke of Windsor). They have a Spencer Jacket in their formal section that I have considered having made in red, if they don't have the fabric you could send it to them. My friend sent them several yards of tartan and had a dinner suit made in tartan. The prices are not give away but incredibly inexpensive for custom. A red spencer would probably cost between $200 and $400.
My suggestions, good luck.

A hunting tailcoat from Huntsman...I'd hate to see the bill for that! 3,4, 5K? Pounds. Bernard Weatherill might be a better equestrian tailor, now under the name of Kilgour.

Great coat, probably more than I would want to pay. Huntsman is known as one of the most expensive tailors on Saville Row.
