This pattern is drafted. That means that it was created using early 19th century pattern drafting systems, the specifications from the British military archives and original issue uniforms. It has the small back and deep set sleeves typical of British military uniforms for the years 1806 to 1820. The pattern contains templates for placing the looping on the jacket left and right sides, the cuffs, and wings. The Sewing Guide contains directions for sewing the jacket, as well as instructions for Hand Stitches and How to Create the Five looping shapes. Saundra Ros Altman has written and illustrated the sewing and fitting instructions. James Kochan and Henry Cooke IV edited the text and Looping Shapes section. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The British Foot Soldier's Jacket is Available in Sizes 1-6, 4 of which are very historically accurate and 2 of which are modern-day sizes Historically Accurate Patterns Size 1 is for 5’6” tall user with 36” chest Size 2 is for 5’8” tall user with 38” chest Size 3 is for 5’10” tall user with 40” chest Size 4 is for 6’ tall user with 42” chest Modern-day size patterns Size 5 is for 6’ tall user with 44” chest Size 6 is for 6’ tall user with 46” chest ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fabric requirements in 54" width wool cloth: Sizes 1 and 2 require 1-2/3 Yds.

We do this with the hope that people will start creating and wearing reproductions instead of antique originals. The clothes we wear and that our grandparents wore are part of our cultural history. Just as you would not abuse antiques furniture by cutting off decorative trim, so you should not abuse antique garments by wearing them. Our second goal is that you pick up a little bit of history when you sew the garment. The fit, the cut, the fasteners, the fabric design, just to mention a few things, are part to the technology of the time. Our third goal, in sewing the patterns, is to spark an interest in genealogy and local history. Researching local history is always a rewarding pursuit. SKU PP#0040-04 Thanks for looking!
