This is a copy of the vest worn by Private David Cooper while serving with the 2nd KY infantry. This reproduction is copied from the original in the Kentucky Historical Society.
Details: It features a fall down collar, two outside pockets and 'tiger' striped jean cloth backing/lining. All top stitching and buttonholes are done by hand. It has brass eagle buttons and a brass buckle in the rear.
Materials:The body of the vest is made from County Cloth's #1 jean, the lining is County Cloth's Cooper Check and the back panel is made from Family Heirloom Weavers' variegated (Tiger stripe) jean.
Size:This will fit a 46" Chest. For now, this is the only size I have instock. I don't have plans to do a run of these again this year, I just made this one up as a 'one of a kind'.
Price: The vest is $135.00 postage paid.
