I can't say I looked for something similar but less expensive, but I hope that this belt buckle will help you justify spending $65 on one.

As for the doublets, it would appear that the "original doublet" posted above was actually somewhere near the appropriate measurements. The rear flaps seem more narrow and the body seems quite a bit shorter than in the pictures of the "replica".

I would agree that the "replicas" have been modified to fit the more "relaxed" styles and standards of dress of today.
