Where is this early 19th century coat?
Found this coat and waistcoat online. It is clearly Wilsons' cloth and probably c1810-30. I would very like examine this outfit, or a better photograph of it. Does anyone know where it is?

Since its from Historical Image Bank, That is the Don Trioni collection, so its probably in the North East US.
I don't know Don personally, but a certain cloth weaver and member of the Para's there in England, a guy who specializes in making Historic wool for 18th and 19th Century Uniforms probably does know him and could probably do an introduction.

Not knowing who the certain cloth weaver and member of the Para's is, can you be more specific? Happy if you want to PM or email me. As a weaver and an ex-Para too we must have a lot in common.

I don't know about the specific coat, but I recently had one very similar made for me for the 1790's house museum I volunteer at.
If you were looking for the pattern only, please let me know and I will get you the information.

Thank you but no, I'm looking for the original coat.
Luke, thank you for the steer. I went straight to the source and found it here where it is described as - Man's coat and waistcoat of Highland tartan circa 1780-90.
I'd have put it slightly later, more like 1800-10. What is certain is that even from a poor quality image it's possible to tell that it's Wilsons' cloth and not 'Highland tartan'.
I've emailed to ask if they know where this coat is.

Dutchy Kilted - I am interested in pattern information for the coat that you described.
Thank you.
