Description: Past Patterns PP#0041EARLY 1800s US ARMY SOLDIER'S JACKET PATTERNSize 5 (chest size 46"-54")we also have our Size 1-4 (chest sizes 38"-44") available in our store This Early 1800s US Army Jacket is an original Past Patterns design ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From our documentation, "The army roundabout was one of the longest-lived garments worn by American soldiers. Known variously as a waistcoat with sleeves, a coatee without tails, a roundabout, a privates’ woolen or cotton jacket, a shell jacket, or a uniform jacket, the garment served for seventy-five years." James Kochan is the spirit behind the development of this 1800s US Army jacket pattern. We began work together in 1990. He provided the concept that the cuff had to be added to the documented sleeve length. He also suggested the height of the collar with documentation from the National Archives. The other vital person, who even James Kochan will acknowledge shared his research with a teenaged James, is Stephen Osman. Stephen has been researching in the National Archives for over thirty-five years. All of us in costume history owe a debt of thanks to Stephen Osman and James Kochan. Without their determination to find and share accurate information, costume history—particularly military costume history—would be less developed and refined.

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#0041-05 Thanks for looking!
