<p>It may have been expensive Carl, but I've never seen a coat look more at home on it's wearer than yours does. (This is the green one, right?) Now you can add fashion trend-setter to your resume.</p>

<p>Frocks are great but expensive, and need to be fitted to look right. I spent a fortune on a hand-sewn paletot, which is an unlined, un-waisted frock coat. You might consider a sack coat, they are much cheaper and were very common by the 1860's. I used to have a nice Corner Clothiers sack coat, got tired of it, traded it to Cuffie, now I wish I had it back ;^{</p>

<p>I'm sure you'd want to trade a pair of trousers for a frock, but you're not going to find too many people willing to trade frocks for trousers. Way more work in one than the other unless you're talking about a sutler grade frock verses a quality pair of trousers. Then the trade becomes a little less uneven. </p>
