    In any event, another option would be somnething along the lines of MacKenzie Frain's 1822 commemorative coatee. It is slightly past Regency, and I'm sure you want to make your own, but a talented tailor, such as yourself should be able to make it for a lot less than they'd charge for it. http://www.mackenziefrain.com/index....gory_id=187397

    I like the look of it myself, but even if i could afford it and had somewhere to wear it it might be considered a bit over the top by most folks. A Regency ball, OTOH, would probably be the perfect place for it! (BTW, the link is for the navy version, but it also comes in green and lovat blue)

    I love it Brian. At first I thought the cost was pretty reasonable...but I guess it does work out to about $460...it's about the same as most regulation doublets...pricey...but not astronomical.

    Jeff,

    I have to say it's probably the nicest looking kilt jacket/doublet I've ever seen and if I could afford it I'd buy it and then look for reasons to wear it!

    BTW, it's nice to see you back here!

    Regards,

    Brian
