[MR] Buff coat?

[Jennifer Dobyns]

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.
