Gentleman of Fortune Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 and while your at it.... If you have pictures/links to paintings etc of what REAL early 18th C trim/braid looks like, post those as well. By that I mean the trimming that is seen around the button hole.

lorien_stormfeather Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Check out the costuming on the film "Gulliver's Travels"- the newish one starring Ted Danson (Hallmark Home Ent). Beautiful and very correct period coats from what I've researched. Note the buttonholes were just for looks..... Fun movie too....
Gentleman of Fortune Posted December 15, 2004 Author Posted December 15, 2004 Ok maybe I should jump start this myself... Here is a button from a mid 18th Century Coat, although the ones for early 18th C can/should be similar. Ok... I showed you mine now you show me yours!
