A Few Weeks ago I received my completely hand sewn SA Enlisted man Frock Coat from Joe Blunt. The Materials, fit and attention to detail are better then I could of imagined. Here are a few pictures of the Frock.

Re: Joe Blunt
When shopping around for the best Frock around I was always pointed to the direct of Mr. Blunt. After receiving the Coat I realized that all the favorable talk about Joe Blunt was true. The product was above and beyond my expectations.[B][FONT="Arial Black"][SIZE="3"]Matthew Avellino[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

Re: Joe Blunt
I got mine from Joe after a not so great experience with another vendor, couldn't ask for better quality. Oh and by the way, Joe and Mrs. Blunt are about the nicest folks you could want to do business with!
I am the one on the right in the attachment with my Blunt frock! The feller on the left has one from "another vendor" and after three events, it is pulling apart at the seams...Attached FilesRegards,

Re: Joe Blunt
Fellows,
I do want to thank you for all the kind words. But I need to make a slight correction. The coat is not completely handstitched. All the long seams (hidden seams) were done with a machine. All the topstitching, quilting, finishing, button holes, etc. by hand.
I'd be happy to do one all by hand, but think the price would have to be a lot more than what I charged you Matt.
Cheers and thanks
Joe Blunt

Re: Joe Blunt
Ahh I'm sorry Joe. Regardless, the craftsmanship is excellent. I apologize for the false description. It was still one of the best investments I have made in the hobby! Thanks once again Joe.

Re: Joe Blunt
For you Frank $900. Seriously, I was thinking of making a Fed Frock and was planning to get the kit by Daly $175 all parts cut out and try to put the thing together but what would it cost to get it finished?Thomas J. Alleman

Re: Joe Blunt
Frank and Tom,
I'd like it if you'd email at mudcatsgt@earthlink.net to discuss details of the 2 different pojects.
Thanks
