Montrose Doublet owners, a favor please

[OC Richard]

I too have never cared for the fact that our modern 20th century formal doublets, the Montrose and the Sherrifmuir (I think I have the names right...correct me if I'm wrong) have the closed collar from the military style doublet. Back in the 19th century nearly all the civilian formal jackets had open collars with lapels.

A glance though The Highlanders of Scotland (over fifty men in Highland dress in the 1860's) shows that the only military closed collars are on actual military doublets worn by military men in uniform.

I've been thinking and thinking about trying to have made the sort of jacket so common from the 1860's up through the early 20th century, a form that hasn't been made, it seems, for a half-century.
