Based on regimental coats produced during the Revolution and boasting three deep working pockets, this coat is a great choice. The outside of the coat and the turn backs are 100% wool. The inside of the upper half is a cotton lining to detract from some of the weight. All buttons are cast pewter.
Historically accurate, beautifully made- great fit!
With a 40" chest, I ordered the 42" coat since I bought a waistcoat to wear under the coat. It was very tight in the shoulders and biceps (couldn't hardly raise my arms). My outside shoulder measurement is 47" around and my biceps are 13" around. Hopefully this helps you to determine the right size coat for you. I exchanged it for the next size up; waiting to see how it fits. Otherwise, it's a very good quality coat. I'm very happy with it.
Haven’t used it yet in a re-enactment but fits well and is made well!
