Know of any 15mm figure that is similar to this fella in appearance, particularly the type of double breasted shirt (jacket?) he wears?

By the way, while I track down the correct 15mm figure, let me get some basic education from you guys … What DO you call that type of shirt, which remember seeing it at times worn with a couple of the top buttons undone on one side, creating a flap? I know I've seen other tv, movie and historical characters dressed similarly, but I can't seem to come up with those examples at the moment other than Red Baron (even though it's definitely a jacket in his case):
link Any idea then? Thanks, Dan
PS. I thought this was a WWI ace pilot shirt or something military, but maybe I it's some sort of Western wear style issue not as widely known. |

It's called either a cavalry shirt, or a bib-front shirt. Ron |

Ok. All the pics I'm finding for "bib shirts" are similar to these here:

link However, it seems like the overlap portion does not extend to the waist as I hoped. Dan EDITED
I think I may have been wrong. This example is being called a "red cavalry bib shirt" and the overlap portion does indeed reach down much lower:
link So is the case settle then? Is the one worn by "Duke Springer" one of those "cavalry bib shirts"? |

Dunno Dan, but the Red Baron is wearing his regimental Uhlan cavalry jacket in that (& many other) photos. Technically it's a double breasted jacket called a Kurta en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uhlan |
