Another interesting kilt

I am interested in the jacket you mentioned. I attend some local regency balls regularly and doing so in highland attire that is more accurate to the period would be great.

The Highland Revival period, which encompassed the Regency era, was a time of rapid change and development with styles developing and changing every couple of years that mirrored the fashion of the day. It's not possible to define one 'correct' style for the period.

For example; jackets went from being cut on the straight to bias cut c1815. There were changes in the cut and length of sleeves, lapels, collars, tails and pockets. Buttons changed from cloth covered to steel ball and back again. The number and style of buttons changed also.

I think I mentioned elsewhere that I'm in the early stages of a collaborative book on the Highland Revival costume.

Well here's my current version.

I have since commissioned some tartan hose and I now have a hair sporran.
