    The "GT" doublet looks like what used to be called the "Kenmore" doublet... I believe that Kenmore doublets are favoured by HRH The Duke of Rothsey and the Duke of Argyll, amongst others.

    Actually, the 'Kenmore Doublet' has 'tashes' or decorative flaps at the front and rear, like the 'Sherriffmuir Jacket', which make the garment look longer. The GT Doublet is only waist length, as is The Montrose.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    I have to say I prefer the look without the 'tashes'. I looked at the GT website, but could not find said doublet.
