Does anyone make this style coatee?

[Tobus]

It seems to me, more so than ever, that there is a continuum of jacket styles, perhaps not a straight line, but one with the occasional branch, (but still a range) from double breasted to single breasted and closed to single breasted and open fronted, and even to double breasted yet open fronted. Collars can be high, low, folded, or omitted entirely. So can lapels. Cuffs and tashes, buttons and buttonholes, all come and go. Some jackets can be worn more than one way- and we occasionally see pictures, especially on eBay, of jackets that are worn the wrong way.

Those in the business of selling jackets will have names for them. This helps to sell them. Those in the business of MAKING them may be less concerned about what a jacket-doublet-coatee-tunic is called and more about what the buyer wants it to look like and how it fits. And those who can have a jacket made need not worry about what to call it, other than their own.

I think we have established that someone can make this jacket and that others have similar ones, but also that its exact duplicate has not become common enough to merit a name. We have seen some interesting jackets and learned some interesting history along the way.

I hope the OP has the answer he was seeking.

Yes, thank you everyone, it pretty much answers my questions*. To sum up, this is a rather unique jacket variation, utilising individual items from various known styles, but put together in a combination that hasn't necessarily been duplicated anywhere that we know of.

I have indeed learned a lot, as well as having been exposed to more terminology and visual styles than I was aware of. I think your statement about style being not a straight line, but rather a series of branches, is spot on. This appears to be one branch that ended.

Now the question is whether I want to attempt to replicate this particular style. And yes, I think I'm interested enough that I will be contacting Lady Chrystel to find out more!

*All questions have been answered except the last one I posed. Given the construction and style of this jacket, would it be more suited to daywear or formal attire? Or both? Consider that it has square metal buttons and tashes (Inverness flaps), giving it a more dressy or formal style. But being (presumably) made of a lovely green wool with rather normal-shaped lapels but having no collar, its style could also be very visually suitable for less-than-formal occasions. Opinions?
