What would coats and waistcoats be made of 1689-92 or thereabouts? I might be having a uniform made... No, I won't be parading around the neighborhood. I am often the model for my paintings and drawings it would be so much easier if I had reasonably proper kit to capture how the cuffs fall in different arm positions or the coat drapes around the legs, etc. I don't need reenactor level detail and probably any 17th century costume shirt and trousers will work, but I've had a difficult time finding a proper coat. I HAVE found several people who can make me one (tailored even) and might go that route...
Anyway, I found lots of reference to 'material' on this site, but not what it actually was. I figured it was worth the time to type this because someone will know the answer...
