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...

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
