  • Wool 1770's Sleeved Waistcoat or Jacket

    23 reviews
    • Available in brown or navy medium-weight wool, this sleeved waistcoat (often referred to as a jacket in the 18th century) is the perfect look for a colonial man. Inspired by garments from the 1770s, both colors have matching covered buttons down the front and on the functional pockets. A coat (a garment having cuffs, a collar, and pleated skirts as seen in period images) would be worn over top of this sleeved waistcoat or jacket, such as our Frock Coat.

    Jacket fits like it was tailored!

    I portray Dr. Josiah Bartlett at schools, local libraries, and community events here in New Hampshire. My Sampson outfit provides the authenticity necessary to fully engage the audience and achieve credibility. Keep up the good work!!!!!

    Good quality and tailoring

    This sleeved waistcoat is very nice. I don't like modern wool that much but there is a comfortable fitting lining. The size ordered was true to my chest size but there is enough extra room for the shirt sleeves and unsleeved waistcoat to fit underneath without being restrictive in comfort or movement. I really like this option for me over heavier sleeved jackets or coats over a unsleeved waistcoat. Do need bigger color selection though.

    Off the rack coat fits better than my custom made jacket

    Great fit and nice color. A great addition to my militia kit.
