Truth be told I preferred my converted tail coat to the Prince Charlie I finally forced myself to buy last year. It had round buttons and solid rather than braided epaulettes. It stood out as just a little bit different in the sea of regular Prince Charlie coatees. Sadly it was a vintage coat and after several years of Scottish Country dance formal balls it started to disintegrate.
