Description
The coat and waistcoat I made for a friend of mine. The cut of both is 1780-90. The coat is in very dark blue cotton velvet and the waistcoat is in gold silk brocade. It also have some silver embroidery on the pocket flaps, and is edged with silver as well.Related content

BEAUTIFUL! Just when I'm looking for images in this time period. It fits him perfectly, too. <3

Man, I love this friend of yours. I often tire of seeing awkward teens trying to look cool in historical garb, but your friend really fits the part. It isn't just his age and face, but the way he poses and presents himself. Compliments to your friend and also to yourself for such craftsmanship!

I'm completely biased as we have moved past the friends phase and I love him and live with him, but I completely agree with you.

That's sweet! I would look forward to it if you two were to do some period couple pics!

But we do plan to have some more taken. Thank you for the watch!

Wonderful! And the wig is very accurate for the period. (Not that pouffy wig style seen in "Amadeus".)

Oh well, the wigs in Amadeus had probably more to do with the 1980's than anything else... I'll tell him, he styled the wig himself.

WOW!!!
What's your source for silk brocade? Is there a closeup on the pocket embroidery anywhere?

Thank you!
I bought it from Cheapfabrics

It was a couple of years ago, though, so I don't know if they have the same kind of brocade. You can buy swatches, though. I'm sorry, no, I have no close-ups on the pockets.

He might well have stepped out of a court house in 1786! Beautiful work!

I rather thought to too.
Thank you!

That is gorgeous! Very lovely! I do a bit earlier than that, but my boyfriend has been wanting to do somehing of this period again. (he used to work for a living history museum that did late 1700's or so.) But you have inspired me. I have to make one now.

Thank you! And thanks for the fav too! I'm glad to be able to inspire.
I would like to do soe earlier costumes...

They're tons of fun! I do Italian Ren-Elizabethan. I luv them. I've got a lot of stuff to post, just haven't been able to get pictures yet.

Oh, I'm sure it is! But I'm a member on an 18th century group, so I tend to do that, as I always have an opportunity to wear them.

You should join the SCA! And I need to find an 18th century group. (SCA's a Rennaisance/Medieval group.) They're everywhere! No, really. Though from what I've seen, the 18th and later re-enactors are better at staying historically accurate. But you should check it out! There's chapters all over the world.

I have friends in the SCA, so one of these days I may join. What I'd really love to do would be 17th century, but group-wise, there is a big gap there.

Thank you! And thank you for the fav!

Oh man, waistcoats should totally come back into fashion! And breeches too. Lovely job! He looks very convincing as an 18th century gentleman.

I agree, they should!
I think it's because he IS a gentleman!

Wow! It's really awesome! It must have taken a very long time to finish?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you. I'm not completely satisfied with the fit, truth be told. It didn't took very long to sew, though the time spanned some eight months- but then I had some very long pauses. :-D
