    Past Patterns carries a Paletot pattern. They frequently have historical documentation included with the construction instructions.

      This cannot be copied to a file but I have purchased several craft guildsman's portraits and will share upon receipt.

        I don't have any particular detailed information about them, but here's the image that Past Patterns bases their illustration off of:

        http://www.newblazingstarpress.com

        Received. “How now about the fifth and sixth guns?”
        Sent. “The sixth gun is the bully boy.”
        Received. “Can you give it any directions to make it more bully?”
        Sent. “Last shot was little to the right.”
        Received. “Fearfully hot here. Several men sunstruck. Bullets whiz like fun. Have ceased firing for awhile, the guns are so hot."

          Kara Bartels and Brian Merrick of Corner Clothers make a wonderful reproduction of the civilian man's paletot using a pattern based on the one from Past Patterns. As soon as I can I'm getting one made.

          They share Pat Kline's Gettysburg shop and their website is www.cornerclothers.com. Brian and Kara are both very helpful and great to deal with.

            Thanks for the picture, I recognized it right away as the one from past Patterns. I guess ill just have to order the pattern. Brian Merricks coats are awesome, I talked to him in December, a great guy. I think that it would be good if several people got some articles on this coat. Not many people in the hobby use it enough. I will try to do some research and get the info posted. Thanks to all who replied.
