kass Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I have for sale one early 1700s frock coat. It's the prototype that was used for the photoshoot for our website. It was only worn for a few minutes for this photo: It is made from olive green 100% wool gabardine (tropical wool a.k.a. "summer weight") and lined with natural linen. There are nearly 100 pewter buttons on the front, back vent, sides, cuffs and pockets. The coat is US size 38. I understand that is equivalent to European size 48 (chest ~96.5 cm). It will also fit a woman American size 8/10. The first $250 takes it. I will ship anywhere in the world. Customer pays shipping. PM me if you're interested. I accept money orders, checks in US funds, credit cards and PayPal. Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
Quartermaster James Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Good thing that's not my size...or I'd have wired you the money already and damn the rent!
Captain Jim Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Seconded. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
kass Posted November 21, 2006 Author Posted November 21, 2006 Darn it, guys! It's not my husband's size either. By the way, if you want one in your size, the new website goes up this week! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!

Coastie04 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 OK, for a stupid question...how do you determine what size you are? You'd think that with all the uniform jackets I have, at least one of them should have a size on them, alas they don't.

kass Posted November 21, 2006 Author Posted November 21, 2006 Measure around the widest part of your chest with a tape measure, Coastie. 38" is the chest measurement that this coat will fit. Actually, it's sized large so it might fit up to 40". Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
The Doctor Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 By the way, if you want one in your size, the new website goes up this week! Shush! Janelle just finished cutting out my new one! No fair letting her know that she can hire the work out! Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Quartermaster James Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 As soon as me ship comes in, it's a'sailin to Kass's website for a new wardrobe!
kass Posted November 21, 2006 Author Posted November 21, 2006 Jack, I can be silenced with an appropriate bribe... Jigme, we will be here when your ship comes in! Visit often, mate! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!

Coastie04 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Thanks, Kass. It's a bit large for me. I wanted to make my own anyway, just haven't had the time and the fabric selection here is limited to what's in the back of the Ben Franklin. I'll wait 'til I get back to the lower 48 to delve into that project. By the way, do you have any plans of creating patterns for the mid-late 1700's? I love what you already have, but the style of ships that I like to sail the most are a bit late for GAoP.

kass Posted November 22, 2006 Author Posted November 22, 2006 Sorry it isn't your size, Coastie. We are planning some mid-18th century patterns next Spring (around March). I'll likely announce them here in Plunder when they roll off the presses. Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!

Coastie04 Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 We are planning some mid-18th century patterns next Spring (around March). I'll likely announce them here in Plunder when they roll off the presses. Perfect timing, really. I'll be transfering this summer and will most likely have some time to start that kind of project after I move. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself for now.
