Title: Frock coat 1760s ish being made for me
Post by: rich pierce on April 29, 2025, 04:14:47 PM

Years ago I scored some very nice wool fabric and intended to have a period suit of clothes from it. Sort of merchant class apparel, not the woodsy stuff. Good for attending period dining events at Fort Number 4 in Charlestown NH, for example. I met a guy Chris Cook who is doing the work. I’ll probably follow up with matching breeches and weskit. We only live once.
