I just want to know what you guys think of the colour of my frock coat. I bought it from Regimental about 5 years ago and when I asked to join Company C last year I decided to dye it. It's made from Woolrich Wool, I would asume the blended stuff, but it's what I could get at the time not knowing of anyother source to aquire a frock. Now asking around and getting some answers from people I dyed it in a warm bath of two parts Dark Green and one half part black. I had that thru most of the year until I dyed it again just before a reenactment in Fremont, Ohio. I dyed it two part Dark Green and one and one half Black.
Now I think it looks good to me, maybe a little darker, as I was trying to match the colour of the Smithsonian Frock. As I aslo put on hand sewn button holes and tried to do some hand topstiching. But again many of you have read that with dying the frock it has shrunk more than I thought and is really snug on me. I will use it until I am able to aquire a new frock and pass this one on to a friend of mine that would like to join in the future.
Again what do you guys think?
