You don't necessarily need a pattern. The frocks are nothing more than a square cut shirt. The last one I made was a square cut shirt that was several sizes larger than usual. I started a small cut at the bottom of the neck V and then tore the front down to the bottom. After fraying the tear and the bottom hems, I had a pretty decent wrap around hunting frock. The larger than normal size gave me plenty of material to wrap around.

I think “Sketchbook ‘76” may have one. The Rifleman’s Frock I have was made from a pattern from that book I am told.

I believe I have a pattern packed away. It was in a box of a friend that passed so I’m not sure if it has been cut. I will take a look this eve.

Frenchman,

Check out Brunley and Trowbridge you tube channel. They have a 4 part series on how to properly cut and assemble a colonial shirt. Then check out Neal Hurst you tube and he has several videos on sewing on things like the fringe and pleating a hunting shirt.

I've got a frock - Taylor gave it to me. Doesn't fit any more.
