Sleeved waistcoat?
I am a historical reenactor interested in the French and Indian War, 1754-1763. I would like to find a sleeved waistcoat in the pattern of the one worn by the Highlanders in the following Robert Griffing images.
Story to the Painting
As this Highlander plays the melancholy music of his fiddle, he can't help but be reminded that he's a Long Way From Home.
Story to the Painting
When the Highlander was summoned to the American frontier to fight on behalf of The Crown, he formed an instant kinship with his Native American counterpart. Tribe and clan were remarkably similar in temperament and philosophy and both cultures produced highly skillful and courageous fighters. In this scene, a Cherokee warrior and Highlander scout in advance of Grant's disastrous expedition against Fort Duquesne. Sadly, both cultures eventually crumbled beneath the oppressive weight of British expansion.
The jacket reminds me of Highland doublet, anyone have suggestions on were I could find one?
Thanks
Kevin
