Why Purchase a Frock Coat or Garment made for you?

For men especially, getting the right fit is key. When you purchase off the rack, you may not get the right arm length or your shoulders may be smaller than your abdomen causing to buy a larger size than you actually need. Purchasing a garment that is made to your measurements allows you to get the correct fit.

Additionally, when you have a garment made for you, you have the option of color and fabric choices so you end up with a garment that is unique to you and original, avoiding the appearance of looking like everyone else. A period frock coat is an investment that you can enjoy for many, many years. If you plan on reenacting several periods, it will be helpful to know that a period correct frock coat is valid from about 1850-1909.
