A truly universal garment worn by shepherds, butchers, bakers, farmers, and other rural laborers in Old England.  Today, smocks are favvored by fashionable people everywhere and made out of every fabric imaginable.  Long and short versions can be hand smocked or "mock smocked" by machine with elastic.

Victorian gentlemen at the end of the 1800s needed a vest or waistcoat to be considered well-dressed, and smart Victorian women often paired vests with walking skirts for street wear.  Our vests offer a variety of stylings, including collarless V-neck, bias-cut vest with shawl collar, and short front-darted style.  Traditional bow tie, with instructions for tying, is also included.

Smoking jackets symbolized sophistication during the 1920's and 1930's, both on the silver screen and in real life.  This classy version features contrasting or quilted lapels, cuffs, and pocket trim.  Pattern includes instructions for women's knitted tank top to wear underneath.

This classic 1950's sport jacket was coveted by all fashion conscious Americans of the time.  The traditional model featured a wool body with leather sleeves, but it looks just as great in sand-washed silk, corduroy, or ethnic print cotton.  Pattern includes instructions for optional hand knitted ribbing for cuffs, collar and waistband.

Perfect choice for historical military or Western re-enactment, as well as an elegant contemporary look.  Single-breasted unlined coat features shawl collar, princess seam in back, waist darts in front (woman's coat only), slightly lowered waistline, long narrow sleeves with band cuffs, and above-knee peplum with back vent.
