as to pattern pricing, welcome to historical patterns....many of which are drafted from extant garments and don't come cheap. generally they're up to $30ish.

that style of uniform was actually very common throughout europe so you can probably get away with recommended patterns for british redcoats and just fold back the tails to create the buttoned flaps.....frock coats for men narrowed in the latter part of the century (1770s-80s) so you can probably get away with using a later century narrower frock coat pattern such as these

anything earlier is going to be too full in the skirts for what you want.

the waistcoat underneath is probably this style....pretty common for mid century uniforms.

note that patterns of time is just a reseller.....i usually sift through patterns there (since they have most of what's available in 1 place), then go to the specific company website to buy.

i've used JP Ryan's patterns before....she does nice work, though i had to size down my frock coat considerably since it was for a 40"+ chest. pic related....relena's sanq kingdom coat is a 1750's men's frock coat with full back pleating.
