Agree Missy at Bakertownsutlers does a fantastic job.. I had one of her Highland Sleeved waist coats perfect fit and looked great! I would not mind having one of her Highland Jackets she now makes.

One thing we have not talked about colors of clothing..
What would you say the most common color for jackets?

Agree re: Barkertown. I have a Highland jacket and a waistcoat from Missy, very good workmanship.

Does anyone have a good source for different colored wool buffalo check fabrics? I am looking for a source so I can make myself some cadadh.

Does anyone have any recommendations for men's stockings meant to be worn with mid-18th century breeches, for calves that are 18" - 18.5" in width (13 US show size)? (edited to add: these are not Highland-specific... but a solid color).

I know of places selling stockings, but I have a bad feeling many of them won't fit my husband's legs without being stretched thin or uncomfortable. I'm a little too busy to sew him clocked stockings at the moment (later perhaps when I'm caught up).

Thanks in advance!

These guys can help I am certain. They are the only ones who offer correctly hand knit 18th century stockings with the seam up the back.

Thanks for the quick reply! I sent the link to my husband. We're always nervous about ordering online for various reasons, so we appreciate people's recommendations.

Best wishes!

figheadair, Woodsheal, two have provided invaluable information in an extremely informative thread. My living history group actually ranges from the 1640's to 1746, and I used to focus more on the earlier history. You two have helped me to accurately expand my range of garb. Thank you!
