Sue's Old Fasions - Custom Coats

Sue's Old Fasions is the make and tailor of the multicam and tiger stripe US Continental Army coat that Poppins wears as you may have seen at events or on Instagram (@poppinspatches)

She makes a wife range of detailed historical uniforms with a frequency in Revolutionary  War, 1812, and Civil War uniforms.  I emailed her and asked,  if I sent her multicam fabric could she make a slightly modernized 1776 style US Continental Army coat and waist coat.  She came through way above my expectations.  If you would like a coat or uniform along those lines,  feel free to email her at suesoldfashions@yahoo.com or visit her website https://suesoldfashions.com/

She will talk to you about your plans,  tell you how much fabric, velcro, and what buttons you'll need,  send you a paper mock up to try on and get your measurements from a tailor that knows pre 1900s fittings, and work on your uniform in line with her order que. 

I recommend www.camofabricdepot.com/  for your raw fabric to send her and 'Nyco Ripstop' or 'Nyco Extreme'. "Flex ripstop' also works but frays a little from thorny plants and burrs.
