Vaquero jacket

[Skeeter Lewis]

Do pards know if there are any patterns out there?

[Books OToole]

I think you can take a basic vest pattern and add sleeves.  I have a civilian roundabout (1820ish) that was created that way.

Thanks, Books - but I've just seen in another thread that Buckaroo Bobbins do a pattern.

Contact the Sutters Fort Gift Shop. Ask for the the "Sutter's Fort Costume Guide".  (You will need a 3-ring binder to put it in.)

This is one of the best studies of early california clothing and there is quite a bit on the Vaquero gear.

I also have this from an 1852 newspaper in my collection.
