sack coat ?

[Doc O]

I now all of you have been through the sack coat questions before.
I have one question I'm not sure about.
I have made one before of cotton and don't want to make another.
After looking at alot of old post. I have most questions figured out, like buttons, lapels,
pockets and such.
I need to know about the lower front of the coat.
Did they have rounded corners or square corners?
After looking at some old photos it looks like it could go either way.
I'm going to try to revamp a goodwill coat. Wool.
I'm also talking about the late 1870's.
Thanks Doc

They were done either way.

Howdy!

Doc O, I think Roscoe nailed it.

If you need more info, try also posting your question on the "CAS City Historical Society " group.

Thanks Steel Horse.
I will.
Should have done that in the first place. I mist that.
Don't want it to look out of place.

Glad to help, Doc.

They're good folks there, too and VERY much in tune with the Victorian Era.  As well as others!
