French Reenactor paper sewing pattern, 1812 sleeved Gilet, size 38/40"

Description

This is
a paper pattern.
The gilet is an undress or camp jacket. It is waist length and single breasted. It has a stand collar,
shoulder straps, and cuff of the units facing color. For the French Infantry the jacket is "White" and Imperial Blue.  You can make the jacket in other unit or musician colors. The jacket is made with machine stitching on the garment interior, and hand sewing on the outside of the garment. Raw edge construction techniques are used.
Please be aware that military uniforms of the times had similar styles, so this could be adapted for other nationalities by changing fabric colors and details.
I developed my own patterns for this reenactment hobby to help clothe our troops.  My main resource was plates form "Uniformes de L'armee Francasies, De Fountenoy a Waterloo" by Michael Petard.
These patterns are based on American standard chest sizes of 38/40, 42/44 and 46/48 inches.
This auction is for the 38/40 inches size. In
centimetres
this is 97/102.
The pattern is printed on bond paper and has complete instructions with illustrations.
I print patterns once a week, as ordered.
