French & Indian War Coats
Coats
Because of our excellent supplies of high qualities Canadian boiled wool, we are well known for our garments made out of wool, especially on coats. In the18th century the coats were very fashionable and we can see and recognize different style according to the social class of its owner or carrier. Early 18th century some of the coats that we identify in the painting have material covert button. This was a fairly common practice in the middle class and lower class, because of the high cost of more elaborated buttons in metal. But these observations tend to fade as the years go by and the cost of metal bottons becomes more affordable to everyone. An other interesting fact is that most of the original coats we see or could repertory are communally unlined. In some cases, like the French capote, they were most of the time left with rough edges. But in all the cases, the coats have elegant lines that will narrow down to the waist and gracefully spread out at the lower part.
French capote, Button coat or Great coat were very popular in the general population and military personal, including Militiaman.

French Capote
-Item is made out of wool
-Doesn't come with the belt
The french capote, the real one not the blanket coat that we all see at rendez-vous, is a wrap around coat with one button at the top. It has a hood and close with a sash. The sleeves are ment to be short so that you can see the sleeves of the under layer of clothing you got and is a lot more practical for every days use. Remember early 18th centurie(20-30), the sleeves on Juste au Corps and coat are higher.
This coat has been around for a while in new France and after the french regime. It's a usefull coat, for exemple, the lower back part of the coat is cut in a way that your coat is going to be well sitted on your horse keeping you warm. You can easily snow shoe with it. Very common in most of the inventory after decease and most of the time it is a coat that the edges are left rough.

This coat is a little later time period coat than the French & Indian War period (French Capote) and a little bit more later like Revolution War period. Even if it can be worn for F&I it's a better coat for a later time period.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
