Meticulously hand-stitched reproduction of the classic British infantry redcoat of the American Revolutionary War era (circa 1776–1783). Made from high-quality scarlet wool broadcloth, the coat features facings in branch-appropriate colors, hand-sewn buttonholes, and pewter / brass regimental buttons. The cuffs, lapels, and collar are made from dyed wool facings, and the body is fully lined in natural linen. Each seam, pleat, and stitch follows period tailoring methods, producing a historically authentic garment ideal for reenactment, museums, or display.
