    Neither at this point. I just ran across it while surfing and liked the look of it. It doesn't appear that it is suitable for civilian evening wear, so I'll keep looking.

    Speaking of running across things and liking the looks of them, I found this Civil War era (reproduction) shell jacket that might work as a formal doublet. With a change of buttons and perhaps some dressing-up of the sleeve cuffs, it might just fit the bill. Thoughts?

    Tobus, I found a double breasted one that I like better. But wouldn't you feel funny wearing the uniform of an invading army?
    Some take the high road and some take the low road. Who's in the gutter? MacLowlife
