Sir Roger Hale Sheaffe's Replica Coats...Part 1

 Paul Sheaffe's father wearing the original 200 year old coat , with his sword at their Family reunion

I received a lovely  email from a  Mr Henderson, early in August, 2012

He wanted us to make some 1812 outfits for the Bicentennial  Events coming up in Sept-Oct 2012...

He asked if we could make one for himself, A full Gentleman's Outfit 1812 Along with a Man's Canvas Haversack.

 Linda Stanley of:

" Canadian Art Cards.com"

  So we began with a series of emails then fittings and picking of fabrics.

 Linda choose a striped fabric with a silver thread  for the main Day Dress.  Along with Blue-Black Bahamian Linen for her Pelise. I accented her outfit with simple ruffle trims, rust  ribbons , and embroidery on the back of her pelise too match her Reticule

This outfit had to be finished for a speaking engagement two weeks after her first fitting.

Her hand sewn"day cap" and Chemise are made from 100% cotton

If you have had the opportunity to see her at some events around Ontario you can be sure she will show you her chemises detailing her initial "S"
