Greetings y'all.
I have a question regarding the best place to start looking for a "modernized" Confederate officers frock coat. I'll try to explain what Im looking for...
I want a well-made and comfortable, tailored coat. It is intended for an everyday cold weather coat as opposed to a reenactment garment so exact period correct authenticity isn't as important as say, manufacture quality, fit, and functionality. I would like it to have functional cuffs, skirt pockets, quality fabric and stitching...etc. I have done a decent amount of research regarding possible sutlers. I've looked at most of the ones I've seen recommended on this and other forums like Wambaugh, Regimental, S&S and so forth. I guess my question boils down to wether a company that's considered a more mainstream option would actually serve my requirements better then say Wambaugh, who might concentrate on providing a more authentic reproduction. I have been looking at C&C. I've read both good and bad but from what I can see their custom garments appear to be of decent quality. Keep in mind that the coat would obviously be custom made so I'm interested in opinions specific to that line rather than a budget section.
I apologize for the length of this post but you don't get what you want by being vague. Any of your guys opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any insight.
