Empire Regency Mens Tailcoat from 1800 Sewing Pattern #0322 Size US 34-56 (EU 44-66)
This is a sewing pattern for a men's Tailcoat worn from 1800- 1820.
This sewing pattern shows a double-breasted Tailcoat of the early 19th. The body has three seams only, a center back seam, two back side seams, moved wide into the back, and no waist seam. Front and back tails are sewn together along the back side seam, pleated into a backward opening fold. The pocket opening is hidden inside these folds. The back opens into a vent beneath the waist.
The double-breasted front ends are about 1” (2,5cm) above the natural waistline, showing the waistcoat underneath. Chest padding supports the front, no shoulder pads are installed. The sleeves are quite long, reaching the basal thumb joint, and finishing with a cuff. All the extra width at the sleeve head is gathered at the front. The collar features the typical m-notch.
The sewing techniques described in the instructions will follow the construction methods seen on extant garments as much as possible. The body is lined with polished cotton fabric. The front facings are extended to meet at the center back. The edges of non-fraying wool fabrics like felted wools will be left raw.
