    That's fantastic!

    Yes it's a very traditional doublet, and unlike the modern "regulation" doublets which as you say look almost like a Prince Charlie with the tashes tacked on.

    Of course doublets existed in a wide variety of cuts and lapel styles.

    I did find one very similar to yours, with the leading edges of the tashes in line with the front opening of the jacket, and perhaps a similar number and arrangement of buttons:



    Another doublet with the in-line front edges, but with deeper lapels and fewer buttons



    Here with double-breasted waistcoat



    Sometimes they're cut to hang open in a wide inverted V.
    Hard to imagine it would be possible to button the lower buttons.



    A piped one



    Sometimes doublets are cut so that they can be buttoned



    This doublet has the tashes set back slightly, giving a slight notch; it has your four buttons
