I have for sale a roughly size 44 nice CS frock coat originally purchased from T. Arliskas, who was selling the item for a friend who liked to make CW uniforms. I was told the light gray fabric is from FHW, but is not a wool jean, but I'm guessing either a loose-woven cotton jean or flannel. It is very comfortable in any case, and has nine eagle buttons on the front and two on the tails.
HAND DETAILS: Basically I got it as a shell and have since put lots of serious work into it. I added a lightly quilted (cotton batting) breast and lined it by handsewing with plaid cotton, including a fully lined skirt and two small tail pockets. All visible stitches are now hand sewn, including topstitching on the collar and cuffs, and handsewn buttonholes with Tart's logwood thread.
This coat has only been used at a few events last summer and is a great bargain. I'm selling it for just $110, inlcuding shipping and insurance.
Pictures are available.
