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 anyone knows anything that could help me out, let me know!:jol:

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.

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.
