4 piece body, 2 piece sleeve, 2 inside patch pockets, functional belt

The
original jacket we copied this jacket from was of a style produced by
the state of North Carolina.
The kit is available in regular sizes 38 through 50. Measure yourself around the chest at the broadest point to determine the size you need to order. If you want a snug fit order that size. If you want a fair amount of ease, order one size larger.
What is a Jacket Blank?
Blanks are garments that are completely put together, but with no
button holes or top stitching. A blank is wearable when you receive it.
It is not a bundle of pieces that have to be sorted out and joined
together. You will know that a blank is a fit before doing a lot of work
on it only to find it does not fit and cannot be returned. It is enough
for many customers to put their effort in the hand finishing of the
garment.
To finish a jacket blank you will need to
- add buttons
- Stitch the button holes
- turn under and whip stitch about 6" of the lining to the jacket
- top stitching if you wish
What is a Finished Jacket?
If
you choose to order a finished jacket we will hand sew your button
holes, sew the buttons on (if you choose to include buttons), hand
stitch the lining closed at the neck and machine top stitch it (if you
choose that option). The jacket will be ready to wear when you receive
it. If
you wish to have the buttonholes sewn for you but want to hand
topstitch your jacket please choose the no top stitching option. You may
also choose this option if you just prefer to have no top stitching on
your jacket.
