Reconstructing History #RH925 - Edwardian Norfolk Jacket Sewing Pattern

In the days when a suit was casual wear, what did men wear when engaged in sport?  There were no T-shirts and basketball shorts, but there was the Edwardian Norfolk Jacket.  Invented by the sportif Edward VII while still Prince of Wales under Mummy Victoria, the Norfolk Jacket's pleats allowed a man freedom of movement while still preserving a dignified appearance.

This is based on an original tailor's draft from the period and fits chests 38"-54" with instructions for making the pattern fit larger sizes. Banded and pleated versions both included.   

All sizes are included in one envelope. Embellishment suggestions, historical notes and period tailoring techniques are also included.
