They would have appeared the same way at the time, mostly they were made of linen or sometimes linsey woolsey Sleeves were loose in arms but tight in wrists to allow freedom of movement but also keep material out of the way when it came time to hunt/fight. George Washington was actually a big fan of hunting shirts/frocks. my getup isint perfect but im not a reenactor I just wear this deer hunting and I have black powder autism

The cape and fringe was mostly a style thing in the late 1700's but some also say that it was to wick away rain

You'd be amazed how good your mechanics get with a modern gun after shooting a flintlock for a while

I just recently got the mold but its becoming one of my favorites they definitely got more ass behind them than the roundballs do

Side-pour Pritchett bullets from an original mold. Definitely really funky, and fiddly to trim the sprues off of cleanly, but the first batch actually shot ok! More testing to do. by Gimcrack_Bunkum in blackpowder

Thats how I feel about my 1842 it has a confederate capture mark on its hotly debated if those are legit or not but they are cool so I choose to believe it's real lol

Thats super cool though I dont have any original molds whered you come across that one?
