Double Period Project 1812 / 1912

Fabric choices for the frockcoat. The fabric in the middle of the picture below is the waistcoat fabric. The lighter fabric on the right has a lot more texture to it, while the fabric on the left is just dark tobacco brown.

Closeup pictures of the textured material, although, I really like this fabric, it is not right for the 1812 coat.

The dark tobacco brown material is the better choice. I am not quite sure, it has a ruff exterior feel it.  I think that it is a mid weight linen and wool combination.

Pattern pieces layed out and pinned. The sixth version of the notched collar is the tan pattern piece in the lower right hand corner of the picture above.

The frockcoat fronts put together with the linging and facings.

Max, once again helping with the assembly of the coat.

The modified coat tails. I liked the tail pattern from Rocking Horse Farms.  I drafted their pattern over the tail pattern from the TG.

Pockets have been placed in the tails.  You can just make them out in the picture above.
