  • Help, uniform question...

    What would you say the trim of this jacket is made from?

    I am trying to make this jacket but am unfamiliar with this style...

    This question might get more response on the military forums.

      Hey there. My friend has an 11th Indiana Zouave impression and knows a bit about the 11th. He also has a website that you may want to look at and his email is on the site if you want to contact him. The site is www.zouavedatabase.org and there is a section on the 11th Indiana Zouaves that gives a little bit about their background, etc. (http://www.geocities.com/zouavedatab...na/11thin.html). I hope that helps you!

          Most likely, a fine wool tape/braid. You might try Wooded Hamlet http://www.woodedhamlet.com and look for wool tapes, less than 1/2" width (just an estimation based on the relative size of trim). These wool tapes are actually pretty flexible, especially when put on by hand with a small running stitch.

            Thank yo for your reply...
            That seems small to me... that would only leave 1/4" on the outside... Are we talking about the same thing? Just to clarify, I am not referring to the trefoils on the breast, I am tlaking about the trim that runs the entire edge of the jacket...
            NOt saying you're wrong, just checking... :wink_smil
