An earlier deal for this fell through (the person stopped contacting me after saying he wanted to buy it).
This is a very nice CS frock, about a size 44, made from a lightweight FHW fabric (Tom Arliskas was selling it for a friend who made it, and saw the receipt for it) with US Eagle buttons. It's not a traditional jeans cloth, but some sort of lighter, looser weave fabric and is nice to the touch. I basically redid the entire inside, adding complete lining of red/blue homespun (and black cotton for the sleeves), along with a gently-quilted front. I also hand worked all the buttonholes and topstitching with Ben Tart's logwood dyed thread, and added two small tail pockets.
It's gently used, with a couple stains from knapsack hooks on the back. I am asking only $110 inlcuding shipping for this.
Pictures available upon request. Please contact me by PM.
