Thanks, but y'know what, I just noticed that "the Dresden" pattern appears to be double-breasted! D'oh! So time to go back to my pile of old photos, and see if I can find such... I think so, in fact I think there have been threads here on just that topic.

Well I couldn't find a vintage photo of a guy wearing a doublebreasted version of that doublet.

But the military doublets, adopted in 1855, where doublebeasted. This lasted one year! and the army switched to the singlebreasted style they've worn ever since



Here's a doublebreasted formal kilt jacket, but no flaps, sort of like a doublebreasted open-lapel Montrose



and here's a doublebreasted Argyll jacket

Richard, you are amazing.
