Summer coat 1800-1820s

A perfect coat for warm weather/ climate! 

This coat would be perfect  for a portrayal of a gentleman  from about 1800-1820s.

 As I am working my way through drafting and improving patterns for the Dandy though the Ages book, I need practice - and the samples are offered for sale - my husband would dearly love to keep them all, but there is only so much room in the closet!

These summer coats are practice items, so not perfect  so the pricing is adjusted accordingly

 Made bespoke, with fittings in person, this coat would start from about £800 plus fabric - so if you happen to fit it, this is is an opportunity to get a quality item at a lower price!

Features:

* made in highest quality 100% linen,  - breathable, light, almost see through -  perfect for warm weather when you want to be fully dressed but sweating in wools and silks is just too much...

*unlined, with front facing and collar the only places with some more structure 

* long sleeves with long cuff with buttons - can be worn over the hand or folded back

*  seam machined and inside edges overlocked,  buttonholes machined too - but outside finishdone by hand, seams easy to take in if needs be

* 2 big pockets at the back

 big gold over collar - can be stuitched down in place if needed, or left as it is

* buttons in front with an overlap - can be made smaller or bigger by moving the buttons a bit.
