Page 37, Osprey Men at Arms Series "The English Civil War" and
several pages (photos and illustrations) of their "New Model Army
1645-60". Not sure about the pattern, but it's fairly straight
forward looking, perhaps "Cut of Men's Clothes" would be a starting
point.
If you can access any websites for English Civil War groups in the
US, some local to Storvik, someone there should be able to help you.
And if you're free on Saturday and can get to the Privateer Festival
in Fells Point (Baltimore), I think Joe Marek of Marek's Privateers
could probably tell you where to find the info. He used to do, maybe
still does, English Civil War. And if Bob Giglio is still playing in
the 17th Century, under Queen's Life Guard or some such thing, he
should be able to help. Try googling that group. They were local.
