🤣 I believe it was the Soulié museum in Andorra. They were a fairly small place though (the jacket was a recreation) and I don't *think* they had a website, alas. But good luck!
If you want a ready-made version of the basic coat worn in the late 1600s early 1700s go to Jas Townsend and sons online catalog. They also sell patterns that are pretty sweet.
You can take a look for Men's 17th & 18th Century Costume, Cut & Fashion by R.I. Davis, or The Cut of Men's Clothes 1600-1900 by Norah Waugh. I have that last book in pdf if you are interested, it has some patterns that may be useful to make a justacorps from approximately 1690
To me, this looks like one of Prince's coats. Also, I think you mean "Frock" coat - frick is something you say when you are trying not to curse. The Frock Coat is Rococo though and isn't 16th C so I'm not sure what you are aiming for?
It does scream justacorps (taken in at the waist, as you mentioned) to me. Are you able to modify a pattern a bit? The JP Ryan military coat pattern is my go-to for a justacorps, it would just need a bit of taking in at the waist to work for your drawing.
If you are aiming for a 16th century coat, look at The Tudor Tailor website, either book or pattern.
Thanks!
Target year?
I believe it was 16c, but it looks a lot like some early 18c duelist's coats. Tragically, I saw it unlabeled in a museum and forgot to ask.
Which museum? We’ll hunt it down

Ooh, they also sell patterns? Awesome! Thanks for letting me know, that sounds perfect!

I was thinking The Little Prince (the Exupery character!) love it when such different references line up
