American Coatee: This coat is meticulous - produced without any shortcuts. Most of
it is hand sewn. The 3/8" white lace is angled crisply and lays smoothly. Original specifications
call for 31/2 yards
of lace. This coat uses exactly that amount. Pewter infantry buttons are applied.
Neck Stock, Black
Leather: Has string ties which when pulled to
the desired fit are tied in a bow. One size fits all.
British Gorget : [#378] This has been copied from a gorget in my own collection.The King's cypher is sharp and clear; not a single detail is rubbed out or remote. Gold plated. **Discontinued**
Shoe Buckles, 1812 Era: [#530] These are a later version of the 18th century shoe buckle. I have
never seen any of this type that dated before 1800; They were called "double
chaped" because a second pinder was added that the fork points rested upon, thus
allowing the use of much shorter forks which could also be made thinner and more delicate.
Available in brass or white bronze.
Men's Shoes: Correct 1812 style. Newly developed with three lacing holes and
distinctive stitching at heel.
1812 Booties: Developed from the bits
and pieces of shoes in the New York State Historical Museum. These are the smooth side of
the leather out. Very similar to Civil War booties but with a flatter shape across the
top, three eyelets and the arch shaped stitching at the heel is higher; coming up to 2
¾". |
