Period Fringe Jacket Maker?

[Dispatch]

I'm not sure if this topic is in the right place but there wasn't a topic for period clothing.
Does anyone know of someone who makes or carries 'period' leather fringe jackets?
In particular I am looking for a Custer style Indian scout jacket.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

See if Tecumseh's Trading Post is still in business.  They offered one at a very reasonable price.

This company sells coats and other items made by various artists $150's to two50's for many of them with internet specials.

this gents work is some of the best out there if you can afford it get it done in brain tan like the originals if not second best is the German tan - modern chrome tan that most fols/companies use is distant third since it doesn't breathe like the first two..

Yea I came across those in my search.
They are way over priced and don't look like a typical jacket of the period.
Besides that, I can't see myself running around at an event wearing a jacket that cost almost a thousand bucks.

Perhaps not typical but it is a near copy of the orginal worn by Custer and not some movie version. As noted in the Blanket Brigade link it is in the Smithsonian

it is also similar to some other originals shown in the Museum of the Fur Trade's "Frontier Scout & Buffalo Hunter Sketchbook"

as for the $775.00 price that is for the real brain tan one which is what all the originals still existing are made from. The cost of the material alone would be in the $300.00 to $400.00 range since real brain tan is only available from custom tanners and it is all labor intensive hard work.

Not that I'm likely to go get a buckskin jacket anyway, but do you have a quick link to a more typical Old West Buckskin jacket.

It is my understanding that only Native Americans wore what is known as a War Shirt, but the pictures I've seen of war shirts look like something a regular guy would wear in the back country.

Just my $0.02 and worth about half that...
