    Thanks for the update, Sir William. Glad to hear she's still at it, even if at a reduced pace.

    I'd always found the email response a bit slow, even at the best of times

    I talked to Missy in December when I ordered some cadadh from her. She said she had had a real health scare and was laid up in the hospital for several weeks, but was feeling much better.

    Im new on here so hello! i emailed missy clark a couple of weeks ago asking if she could make me a highland short jacket. She wrote back saying that she was working away from home but would be back the next day and would email me again about it. Still no word back yet im hoping she will respond as this is the last chance i have at getting a short jacket. I live in scotland but cant find anyone who makes them! in scotland of all places. I would phone her but it would cost me a fortune to call the states from here!

    I have a couple of long shirts in linen and silk from Missy Clark of Barkertown Sutlers. I can vouch for the quality and the good price.

    Missy Clark as was being discussed here is one source.

    There are plenty of other places making 1740's era clothing but most of them cut a lot of corners. The best rout to go is to make it your self or have some one who is utterly obsessed with the period make you one. My wife and I actually have our own business making English Civil War clothing through Rev War era clothing and we do it correctly. Hand sewing, natural dyes when possible, correct cut, correct fit, naturally dyed linen or wool thread.
    My problem is that there is an exceptionally long wait for garments from me.

    If you are in a hurry and dont care about the little details and absolute authenticity here are a few other sources.

    Woodhseal,

    Have you seen Peter Watkins' film Culloden? It was a black and white period film (shot "mocumentary style") done in the early 1960's and is rather interesting my opinion. You should definitely check it out if you haven't seen it already. It's availble on Netflix if you subscribe to that particular service. Beautiful pictures - you really have a great eye for detail and reconstructing history to a tee - I applaud you and am glad people like you are out there educating others who are keen.

    Cheers,
