    Kochan & Phillips Mixed-Grey Kersey

    4 yds available

    Kochan & Phillips 100% wool, 26oz, 56" inch wide medium gray kersey. Here is the description of the vendor I got it from:

    "This is museum quality reproduction wool used to make English civil war army coats . . . late War of 1812 US Rifle Regiment Coatees and War of 1812 British Army enlisted trousers (broadcloth). The use of this cloth continued in both armys well into the 1830s. The 1812 U.S. Army roundabout jacket by Past Patterns should be made of kersey. Mixed gray broadcloth was used for hundreds of years by farmers, sailors and other laboring people up to and including the 19th century."

    This appears to be a very appropriate cloth for Tait jackets or maybe kersey-made trousers.

    This is very fine cloth which sold for over $50/yard. Will part with for $45 PER YARD shipped.

    This a great deal. K&P is one of the best on the market. This is a steal. Although I would not recommend as a B/G army cloth, this cloth would would be superb cloth for any fine garment, and this is one of the best deals I've seen on it.
