We at Morris & Co. Historical Clothiers are proud to announce our original "James Wilde Junior & Company Contract Great Coat". The coat has been copied from a sample in the collection of the William McKinley Memorial & Stark County Historical Society, Canton, Ohio.
The coat is in the collection of the museum & in fairly good condition and is 85% complete. We have worked to examine this garment very closely and to pattern the jacket as closely to the original. The jacket features a machine sewn construction with some hand sewn details. In addition, the jacket features an example of a "Field Modificaion" of slash pockets underneath the cape.
Our Coats will feature these details:
1. Key Hole Hand Sewn Button Holes.
2. Red Wool Lining.
3. Belt Reinforcements.
4. Hand made slash pocket hand warmers.
5. Lined sleeves in a drill.
6. J. W. Jr. & Co. Contract Marks.
7. 22 oz. Sky Blue Kersey with diagonal warp.
8. Burlap interfacing
Please take the time to view our photos of the original and reproduction garment.
