callenish you couldnt be farther from the truth.....it would seem that period boat plans a not but a pipe dream! I iv been able to notice...is that the few groups that have small period craft..........usually seem to have a shipwight make up the plans........whether its one of the explorers(john smiths shallop replicas) or just a longboat for one of our larger tall ships....everyone seems to just build them.......

i gots ya beat here in Virginia at 38F .......almost hot enough to go in the pool.......so hot........

i must also advocate colonial williamsburg,,,those things come clean up my thigh.......though i live right up the road and have an unfair advantage in getting them..........get some if yee can!

Have a look here Gentlemen of Fortune a good site to get an idea what your goin for.......also check around in our other forums ....most of us hand sew our own kits......mostly, it would seem, because there arnt too many items available of our period.......for the love of god...please get a pair of trousers lol best of luck.....hope yee like spending money......mmuuhahahahahahah *mad laugh*

Thank you very much Foxe.......... wonder what colour sad is as well......i appreciate the time you took to make this list...i think i should look at more newspaper adverts...........

J8ksdad is correct...that is simply a two button collar.......and on a side note..if anyone has another reference to double breasted coats before 1730 please post...iv just been through a hundred or so paintings and sketches and come up ONLY with the rogers prints....lol

Has anyone ever seen them in other illustrations, or paintings? Iv only seen them so far in mid 18th century and later paintings...BBUUTTT i suppose they had to be based on something earlier.......id like another picture to go by, before making one.........*goes off to look at dutch paintings*...i shall find more!

Can anybody here read what I write? Really now, with all the help I'll be needing at my place, you don't think I'd offer you a chance at an honest living? Hell man! If'n you're any good, you're invited to ply your trade under my capital until you've amassed enough to pay your debts and establish your own shop! What do you do? I thought you were a tailor or such, but Lady B seems to think you a carpenter. Can you cooper? I believe taxes were Ransom's idea. I'm explicitly outside of any incorporated boundaries, and therefore free from any taxes; neither would I levy any. Allright now, the Lady seems to have the hang of the realm... And what I do at sea is nobody's business but that of mine and my crew! not a tailor...a carpenter i be.....i may one day know some cooperin(white cooperin in fact)...........yee hath escaped my rath for now......but now yee cannot escape my bussiness...and for only 12 easy payments of $19.95 yee can have ya own, black-made cask!..CALL ME NOW.........i also do psychic readings and curses on those that trouble yee..........OH and free from taxes you say........well then you ARE a vagrant...for shame quartermaster.......
