Short "work" jackets were commonly worn by workmen and laborers, among others, throughout the 18th and early 19th century. Our reproduction is double breasted and features your choice of outer cloth (wool or linen) and is lined with linen/cotton blend in a color that accents the outer cloth. The coat features a double row of buttons on the front and buttoned functioning cuffs. It also features an exterior pocket. What sets our coat apart from the rest is not only the quality of cloth and construction, but also that it features completely hand sewn button holes. Your choice of buttons (cloth covered, wooden, or brass coin) are also available.
Note - If your size is not in stock at the time of order, a wait of 4-6 weeks may be necessary. Please understand this before ordering, as we cannot accept mid-order cancellations because an item doesn't make it to you for a particular event.
Sizing info: this garment is sized similar to modern sport or suit coats, so choose your chest size and keep in mind if you are going to be wearing a vest under the coat. Also take into account if you have an unusually long or short sleeve length, let us know that information in the customer comments.
