Rifleman’s Hunting Frock

Description

Embrace the spirit of the Eastern Frontier and the American Revolution with our traditional handmade Rifleman’s Hunting Frock, a faithful reproduction of the iconic 18th-century frontier garment. This loose-fitting durable outer garment, once praised by George Washington as an ideal military coat and adopted by the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War as a symbol of American independence. Standard wear for Eastern woodsmen/American frontiersmen, our frock offers a blend of historical accuracy and practical utility for reenactors, history enthusiasts, and modern outdoorsmen.

Perfect for historical reenactment, living history events, or as a unique, rugged outer layer, this handmade hunting frock combines practicality with a rich piece of American history.

Authentic Materials: Crafted from durable, period-correct fabric (such as medium-to-heavyweight linen or fustian cloth), this frock is built to withstand rugged use while remaining authentic to the era.
Functional Fringe: The distinctive fringe along the cape, front opening, and cuffs is not just decorative; it is constructed to help disperse water and aid in quicker drying in wet conditions.
Versatile Design: The open-front style is generous enough to be worn over other clothing layers year-round and is secured at the waist with a sash or leather belt (sold separately).
Period Details: Features include a large shoulder cape for added insulation and weather protection, square gussets under the arms for freedom of movement, and pewter buttons at the cuffs.
Natural Coloring: The frock is available in natural, blue, brown, gray, ash, or green.
