Tight Tricorns and Long Coats

So if we take notice of what people are wanting - would this long coat  (which I think is quite a bit too long (should be just above knee) , with proper pockets, and a cartridge belt) am I getting closer?

  1. "Am I getting closer?": yes indeed, though the narrow tricorne may not be appreciated by many: aim rather at the style presented there.

    Now, you wrote (and I warmly support your position) in a previous post here "To come up with something that feels right *whilst not slavishly copying the styles of the period*."
    So your ladies could sport a more generous cleavage (scroll down; see also).


    Will 3D CAD be followed by 3D printing of the 'masters'? In this case you could satisfy the 15mm gamers as well as the 28mm ones?
    Then, while '28mm' is relatively well defined by opposition to 25 and 30mm -say # 1/63- '15mm' in practice is a 'fuzzy' concept. Be sure any '15mm' female soldiers are compatible with (i.e. ideally slightly smaller, but in any case no taller than) the male minis used by 'Lace Wars in 15mm' players interested in women soldiers, specially if they play the WSS: first among them TMP member Luis of "What if?" WSS Catalonia, who already converted a female regiment but is obviously interested in more and 'ready made'.

  2. You know, for a female soldier a shorter coat would be more sexy (or sexier? I always have uncertainties about the comparative of short adjectives ^-^). And you *do* have a very historical precedent / justification: the 'riding habit' of late 17th - 18th C. ladies (inspired by military uniforms) had a rather short jacket :)
