Our 19th Century Civilian Sack Coat is a historically styled men's coat made for mid-19th-century living history, Civil War reenactment, and historical interpretation. Based on period civilian sack coats, this reproduction features a 100% wool outer, brown or black polished cotton lining, white cotton sleeve lining, cloth-covered buttons, and carefully finished hand-sewn buttonholes.
A sack coat was a practical choice for American men in the middle decades of the 19th century, making this an excellent foundation for civilian, merchant, tradesman, farmer, miner, or other period impressions. Choose from a wide selection of wool, jeans cloth, linen, and tweed options to create the appearance appropriate for your character and period.
I've owned and sold numerous sack coats through the years, and these are some of the best I've been able to offer. Great quality construction that will greatly add to your impression.
Sizing info: this garment is sized similar to modern sport or suit coats, so choose your chest size and keep in mind if you are going to be wearing a vest under the coat. Also take into account if you have an unusually long or short sleeve length, let us know that information in the customer comments.
We normally do not maintain a stock of a wide variety of sizes of this garment, thus please accept an approximate wait of 6-8 weeks for completion of your garment, unless otherwise stated by SUM.
