BLACK WOOL TAIL COAT SET. #MD6091. Here's a civilian TAIL coat set consisting of a double breasted jacket, double breasted vest and straight fly trousers. The suit pieces are made in a medium weight black wool. This set is an older Jarnagin production from some time ago. This set has been used for a couple formal occasion and thus exhibits hardly any signs of wear whatsoever. It has been in storage for a number of years. These pieces are entirely machine sewn including all buttonholes. Here are the sizes:

COAT: Chest: 48". Waist: 46" max. Arm length: 27" Back length (base of collar to bottom of tails): 30 1/2"
VEST: Chest: 48". Waist: 46" max.
TROUSERS: Waist 44/46" x 38" (we can shorten to any length free upon request).

Here are descriptions of each individual piece in this set.

COAT:   This is a tail coat - like a tuxedo jacket - with a very short front length (ends just below the rib cage) and cut with a "V" pattern double breast. Three large brass buttons (flat livery pattern) per side of which two are the primary buttons for closing the coat. These brass buttons can be changed out (by the buyer) to black cloth covered button if desired. Full lapels and a rolled falling collar. Rear tails are split in the back. Sleeves are plain and without buttons. Lined in a black polished cotton with muslin sleeve linings. There are two internal horizontal entry pockets in the body lining. As mentioned above, this coat has a very short front length (like similarly patterned tail coats from the 1820's/30's) and short tails (not long tails like swallow-tail coats). Just wanted to mention that. :-) This coat is in wonderful condition inside and out and has only a couple very slight (almost "trace") sweat stains on the sleeve linings at the cuffs. Other than that, this coat is pristine inside and out.

VEST:   Pretty much your basic vest pattern with a double breast. Nine small 1/2" flat brass livery pattern buttons per side of which 6 are the primary buttons for closing the vest (at least as the owner has it set up for the moment). The collar is a combo of of both "stand" and "fall" pattern. The sides and back of the collar stand up and the front portions are turned down where they join into the lapels. Three vest pattern pockets. Lined in muslin with a medium brown cotton backing. Two rear adjustment belts are made from the same fabric as the backing and has a two tine white metal adjustment buckle. There are two leather wear strips on the lower front body lining (one per side). There are just a couple light stains or marks on the lining which are probably from the suspenders as well as some very light sweat stains here and there. There are also some tiny stains near the neck (on the lining) and these are obviously from a coat hanger. These stains are nothing major though and still allow this vest to be considered a very nice item!

TROUSERS:   Like the vest above, these are your general pretty straight forward pattern trousers with a regular (straight line) fly, vertical side seam pockets, split rear waist band with tie-back grommet holes, black stamped steel buttons on the fly and waistband, and rolled hemmed cuffs with a small side seam split. Pocket bags, fly and waistband facings are white cotton drill. No watch pocket. These trousers are in MINT condition and show absolutely no signs of wear.

This suit is being sold as a set; the seller will not break it up individually.

TROUSERS; CIVILIAN, CLARET COLORED WOOL FLANNEL: #JY3554: TWO pair of lightweight wool flannel CLARET (wine) colored civilian cut trousers. These are only partially assembled at this time (being assembled to "Museum Grade" standards) and we will complete them to customers size specifications as for waist and length upon sale.

SLEEPING CAP: #JW9021 Made from a heavy weight maroon upholstery type fabric with dark blue and tan floral designs. Size is LARGE to X-LARGE. I wear a 7 3/8 forage cap and this fits me fairly loosely (but I can still wear it). The current owner folded up about 1 1/2" of the bottom and tacked it into place here and there. This was undoubtedly done to reduce the inside diameter a little for a better fit (as it now stands). These tacks can be easily clipped out thus letting down this extra folded up fabric. In doing that though I am sure this will increase the size of this hat a little going from X-LARGE to XX-Large (7 7/8 hat size and possibly larger). Anyway, this smoking/sleeping cap is lined in an osnaburg-like cotton fabric and hand hemmed along the bottom edge. In GREAT shape overall. Has a small (5") sky blue yarn tassel on the end of a 2.5" long twisted length of yarn. This twisted length of yarn has been knotted up to reduce the length. However, the knot can be taken out with a little patience and in doing that it will add more length. Hat is fully machine sewn. Maker unknown. Photos up soon.

SLEEPING CAP: #NC9822 Made from a light weight floral pattern - tiny multi-colored flowers and leaves on a very dark green base - cotton shirting. Unlined.

I wear a 7 3/8 forage cap and this fits me but is a little loose. Fabric gives so this will probably fit gents wearing up to 7 3/4 to 7 7/8's hat sizes. Fully machine sewn. Maker known. Photos up soon.

FABRIC: 3 YARDS LIGHT BROWN WOOL BROADCLOTH. #SP8764. Here are three yards of beautiful light brown wool broadcloth. This fabric is in perfect condition and measures 68" inches wide when unfolded (the industry standard is 58/60" wide). This fabric currently weighs in at 24 oz per yard. HOWEVER, this is when considering it's unusually wide width of 68". When using the regular 58/60" wide industry standard this fabric would be equivilent to 18 ounces per lineral yard. Therefore, it is excellent for trouser, frock coat and vest work. Seller will NOT cut this yardage into small lengths; it is being sold as a three yard piece. Small snipping available for inspection.
.......... $150.00 for the three yards + shipping. Give me your zip code and I'll get you a shipping rate.

FABRIC: 3 YARDS LIGHT TAN WOOL BROADCLOTH: #SP9092 Identical fabric to the piece above except that it is a light colored tan wool. Seller will NOT cut this yardage into small lenghts; it is being sold as a three yard piece. Small snipping available for inspection.

GAUNTLETS. #KC8772: Dark cream/butter colored soft leather (goat skin I do believe) gauntlets tagged inside as size MEDIUM. Going by men's glove size these fit 9 to 9 1/2. To measure for your glove size hold your hand out flat with the palm up (at least that's how I do it). Move your thumb out of the way as you do NOT want to measure over your thumb. Then using a soft tape measure (vinyl or cotton) measure around your palm. It's a little easier to have someone take the measurement for you so you don't have to fight the tape measure sliding around. These gauntlets are made of soft leather with a stiffened cuff. Decorative stitching over the fingers and on the cuffs. Maker unknown but the seller believes these are American made. I tied on a pair and they are nice and comfy.
.......... $40.00 for the pair + $6.00 shipping    Top Views. . . Bottom Views

.......... $1.00 per bag + $2.00 shipping

SHOES, REV WAR PATTERN: #RR2876. I had second thoughts about posting these are they are not within the time frame for what I carry as consignments. However, because they came with a mess of Civil War era items I told the owner I'd post these shoes for him. So, here we have a pair of BRAND NEW, NEVER WORN, size 10 1/2 Rev War pattern shoes. The seller indicated these were made by Tom Mattimore. NO front buckles (buyer will have to purchase them from a Rev War supplier). Low cut black leather with machine stitched soles and nailed heels.
.......... $75.00 + $9.50 shipping
