Here is the other braid in a test shot with some back trim I just picked up. Keith Now Rear Admiral. Oh God No!

Said to be from the 60s or 70s. Only 4 yds left. This would be great if it were made now. Only enough for about 3 tunics. Steve

I mean after Commodore you can not see the piping on the back seam. Keith Now Rear Admiral. Oh God No!

No gold piping on the back sleeve seams. Commodore Mendez shouldve had the sleeve piping too but didnt. Steve

Just very shiny. Once I have some good lighting I will post it. It turns out not to be exactly 3/4. It is a bit shy of that But maybe workable. It is from India. If it is liked I can check to see how much they have. The auction said only 3 yards but when I contacted them say I need at least 5 they said they had a lot. Just selling in 3 yards on eBay. Keith Now Rear Admiral. Oh God No!
The Admirable	Male Formal Base Pattern?	#67	[-]
Posts: 2379 (05/22/09 11:09 PM) SF1701st President Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	While looking for a good widely available candidate as a base pattern for the male formal, I couldnt find a commercial pattern that was suitable, but I did find this online pattern: http://www.independentliving.org/fashionfreaks/mjackets.html The 2nd half has the information for the raglan sleeve jacket with collar. The womens formal is the TOS duty uniform, but with the poly silk (taffeta texture) instead of doubleknit fabric. A commercial pattern that may modifiable is the McCall's Civil War Officer costume #4745: It has set-in sleeves instead of raglan, but if youre able to modify the pattern, then this will work too (the single-brested version).

If the braid on #4 cant be found in a larger size so as not to have to sew 2 rows of braid. Was #4 taken outside? The colour looks richer if so. #2 looks too bright a gold. Here's a thought: can you take a pic of #s 2 & 4 together? A side by side comparison may help. Steve
