Hard time finding "colonial" type jacket...

[JohnnyL]

I'm looking to buy a type of "british-colonial" type jacket, such as pictures below, not leather or anything but something put together nicely. I'm having a hard time finding anything online that's not asking a hundred dollars and up. I'd like it to be either a beige or blue color, or dark red.

If you can sew a bathrobe pattern works perfect for that type of coat.
All you need to do is add the lapels, collar and cuffs.

Thats what I used for my Captains coat and it turned out really nice.

Try this site (http://www.wmboothdraper.com/Patterns/mens_patterns.htm) for sewing patterns similar to what you are looking for.

If you or anybody you know sews, look for historical patterns. Any antique garment that is authentic will be valuable.

I used a red bathrobe from a thrift store for our son's Redcoat costume when he was 11. It was super easy. I used white felt for the details and cross belts.

These pieces are not of high quality. so if you're looking for long term usage, more than a couple of nights of wear for a haunt, think twice.
Good pieces will run from $80 on up.

I found a red jacket on ebay just now. I can't comment on the quality though.

If you have a link, I might be able to tell what make it is?
