This Napoleonic British Foot Soldier's Jacket is an original Past Patterns design ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The Foot Solder's Jacket pattern is largely based on careful study and analysis of most of the extant British Army other rank’s coats of the Napoleonic era (scattered in various museum and private collections in Europe and North America) and exact patterns were “pulled” from two such coats: namely, the 1812 light company jacket of the 104th Foot and the c. 1814 grenadier coat of the 87th Foot.

This pattern is drafted. That means that it was created using early 19th century pattern drafting systems, the specifications from the British military archives and original issue uniforms. It has the small back and deep set sleeves typical of British military uniforms for the years 1806 to 1820.

The pattern contains templates for placing the looping on the jacket left and right sides, the cuffs, and wings. The Sewing Guide contains directions for sewing the jacket, as well as instructions for Hand Stitches and How to Create the Five looping shapes. Saundra Ros Altman has written and illustrated the sewing and fitting instructions. James Kochan and Henry Cooke IV edited the text and Looping Shapes section.

Although the amount varies by regiment or corps, it generally required 12 yards of worsted regimental lace to trim the buttonholes and edgings of enlisted men and sergeants' coats, while drummers' or music coats required 28 to 32 yards. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The package includes our original artwork on the front cover, fabric and sizing charts on the back cover, and 22 pages of notes of era correct stitching, historical information, pattern layouts plus extensive, time-tested directions on creating the garment that are both illustrated and written.  The patterns themselves are computer designed and printed on 36" wide paper. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our patterns are printed on 20 lb. white paper and packaged in a reusable plastic.
