As an exclusive for the Carmel Doll Shop Boutique, Jeffrey Cook of Maison Jeffrey has created a set with two period accurate 1840’s wardrobe pieces for our dear “Albert,” Carl Armstrong’s exclusive KPM reproduction china boy.
The “Stripes and Tassels” set features a tasseled cap and pants of vintage pinstriped wool. Both pieces coordinate with Albert’s “Lad of the Glen” shirt and jacket. The patterns and materials are available for your sewing pleasure in a complete kit which includes a full-color, paper pattern with full instructions and all of the materials needed to create these charming wardrobe essentials for a young man of the 1840’s. The set includes materials and patterns for the following:

Cap: Lengths of vintage black wool with a blue pinstripe, black tarlatan, black bias silk, black cotton batiste lining cotton, length of black trim, cardstock hat band, black cardstock, one tassel, two decorative beads.

Pants: Length of vintage black wool with a blue pinstripe.

One small spool of thread in black.

This helpful, user friendly kit offers interesting insights on 1840’s clothing, useful online links to tutorials on stitches and techniques and beautifully curated materials.
