    Default Frock Coat Question.

    Just to help with a argument on a non CW board..but. Are there any historical references to, or examples of, leather frock coats military or civilian during the 1860 period? Have not found one yet, but I could use the help of all you clothing experts.

    Thanks.

    Hallo!

    Define "leather?" And maybe define "frock" coats."

    Not that I have ever (yet) come across. Much akin to leather kepis...

    However, there is a 19th century evolutionary line where Natives "copied" in buckskin White frock coats often adding "hunting frock" capes fringe, quillwork, moose-hair embroidery or beadwork. That was picked up by trans-Mississippi Whites such as hunters and scouts. And military men as well- George Custer had several.
