Capt. Sterling

Aye! This was my second year of attendance at Port Washington. As mentioned, I'm with the Fool's Gold. Well come wander about the Pig and Whistle and say hello. I remember seeing you from a distance at Port Washington this year.

Not THAT child...Mission is referring to the funeral down in Pip...THAT child.

Hmmm before writing this into the scenario...question, wasn't smallpox still considered a very serious illness, not the same but up there with the plague? Or did an outbreak of smallpox not cause citywide concern and was just considered a common illness? We need something more typical of childhood diseases, that would commonly kill a child but not send the entire town into a panic.

1) glass of milk 2) some very wicked storm clouds, actually quite breath taking 3) Captain Nahlij 4) my most trusted friend Joann, her mom just passed away

Krys were you at Port Washington?

Oi...Just because I can't dance doesn't mean I can't shoot...

Welcome to the pub

seats in the House and Senate

One more for the Archangel Crewe... just list MM for now...thank you.

Ugh... learning the minuet so I can dance with my daughter at the ball at Beaufort, NC.

Damnation man, why didn't you post this one first! Great shot!

That's okay. We forgive you because of the boat in the background.

As to advantages...can't say there are any or that I have read that there were considerations regarding such. As long as they are buttoned I haven't had any problems with them... although when they aren't...sheesh.... could just have been a style pure and simple.... remember coats are a fairly "new" clothing item so it may have just been fashion experimentation.

Well then quit posting the word bump and actually write something... I'll give it my best shot

Remind me to bring the black and silver coat for the ball at Beaufort... easier to see up close.

Sorry couldn't resist... Looking good there!

Buttons

Sorry I didn't see this sooner too... Many happy returns of the day... And God's very best always!

Ah.. so then, having you as a mistress, I have been punishing myself all along...

Vertical pockets were pretty popular for the earlier coats

Here you go, an original fashion plate from the period... look familiar?

Right then, this is a print from Auguste Racinet's Full Color Pictorial History of Western Costume. A Dover Publication. Albert-Charles-Auguste Racinet was a 19th century painter. Many are copies of original artwork from the time period. As to the sashes being tied in such a fashion and actually staying put... not sure. Mine always rides up ... I can wear it rather loose if I wish but then I have to keep tugging up my breeches...

Um... Ye mean we DON'T have to ..ahem... pay .. fer ...IT?

Many happy returns of the day to the Twin... Cheeky ye of all people should know better...snigger. God's blessings for the very best always!
