Federal Enlisted Frock Coat

Welcome to the Federal Enlisted Frock Coat masterclass. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to draft and fit your pattern and toile before continuing onto the coat itself. If you’ve got any questions or run into issues, feel free to email me at any time or share your question and progress in the support community.
