Sancho Panza Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Probably have to make one, those jacket looks too short :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The Frock Coat looks about right. All you need is some paisley material. Good luck with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 One reason some of the jackets look "short" is that the people were. Just a thought. My 5-button officer's "sack coat" of the 1860-80 period is much longer than a current-style suit jacket that derived from it. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Really makes one wonder what else is on your want list - actually it's probably better if we don't know! Your post made me laugh because one of the few photo's I have of myself as a kid I'm wearing a Nehru jacket in paisley just like your looking for. I'm probably eight or nine so it was probably mid 60's. Apparently that was my easter dress up clothes at least for my hippie parents, almost everything we had was paisley or tye-dyed except for those long sleeved wooly looking shirts that had three bone toggles on the front and a hood which I wore through much of the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I found the pattern that I wanted, now I have to take measures, but I really like this pattern: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I was an undercover Nehru. All my Nehru jackets were solid colors. Paisley was for lead singers and lead guitarists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil war jacket is the only one a can think of, and I've never seen such a jacket with pocekts like his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sancho... that looks a lot newer than CW era in the US. Especially the pockets. My short jacket with a short standup collar is a "roundabout." The more or less "suit jacket" length one is a sack coat. A longer one kinda like my roundabout but with a long "skirt" would be a "frock coat." Up through captain rank it was just the single row of buttons; senior officers had "double breasted," in the Union Army anyway. The Confederate Army had somewhat more modern uniform styles. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah, you're probably right, it looks kinda "new". I was looking at some Civil War jackets and none of them, or most of them, didn't have any pockets. I think that that model is a WWII jacket. Found a SS-jacket, which resembles the one on the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
