## Questions & Answers

**Q: The instructions for the cuffs are really confusing. Can anyone clarify for me?**
A: I found the entire pattern hard to follow.  I ended up doing it my own way because it was so confusing and frustrating. This would not be an accurate way to tell you so If I were you I'd just go to youtube and type "applying cuffs to sleeves" in the search bar.  That's how I learned to do a specific pocket. Hope this is helpful.

**Q: Did anyone else find that the pattern pieces are printed on both sides of the paper?**
A: Mine was, too.   Serves as a reminder to copy my pattern pieces to another medium tracing fabrick, brown paper, etc.

**Q: Which collar is which view? 1 and 2 are in the write-up, but there are 3. Which is used for the Tilghman style and which are the buttoned down ones?**
A: very often the collars were interchanged, and some were used specifically by certain regiments as a way to identify. diana thompson Blackthistle Designs

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent pattern
*by M***D on October 14, 2012*

As a complete novice to sewing and costume making, I was very hesitant to buy this pattern and try to make something as ambitious as this frock coat, but I made a great decision. The pattern instructions are very easy to follow and the coat, with some minor alterations, has turned out amazing (the alterations were to convert it into a 1774 style British Royal Navy officer's coat). For the most part it was fairly straight forward, but if you get into any trouble, just search youtube (I had to in order to figure out how to make button holes).Bottom line is the instructions are easy to understand for a newbie and the coat looks fantastic when finished.

### ⭐⭐ This pattern made me bald. I pulled all my hair out.
*by E***H on January 24, 2015*

This is the most frustrating pattern I have ever used. I have made a number of historical costumes, several from scratch making my own patterns - but this is my first men's costume. I had to do several hours of internet research on regimental coat construction, and then wound up purchasing a Butterick pattern (shoot me now) just for the cuff instructions. It took me a good hour to decide which collar to use because there is no instruction as far as which collar correlates with which picture on the pattern front. The sleeves took forever to set because there is only one dot on the sleeve and one on the coat front as a guide. The cut of the pattern itself is fine. Several have posted that the arms are set oddly, but this is appropriate construction for the time. The coat was supposed to encourage correct posture: shoulders back, chest out. The cuff instruction was virtually nonexistent. It tells you to sew the side seams and goes into detail about this simple step. It then simply says to sew the lining to the cuff, and there is no instruction at all on how to attach the cuff to the sleeve. Butterick 3072 gives great instructions for this step. You should not need to spend hours doing research to use a commercial pattern. I did find an online pdf "Regimental Coat, Commander In Chief's Guard Guide for Instruction by Judith Wicker" available for free download, this includes wonderful information. I also found drunktailor.blogspot.com to be helpful, he has great closeup photographs of individual steps. In short, I give the pattern itself 4 stars, the instructions 0 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Service
*by G***E on June 6, 2014*

Received on or before posted time. Pattern itself arrived in good shape. On first looks, this is not a pattern for beginners, and I'll be getting into it in the next few days.
