Have you seen a fantastic Justacorps?  You know, the long pirate coat of mid 1600's...

Where did you see it for sale?

I'll let you know when I find it.  I'm still looking after all these years.... ::)

The best ones I've seen are the ones made right here on R/F.  ;-)

Sorry, I know that's not what you want but I could help plugging our talented seamsters.  ;D
Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

A clothier named Audrey Carrol makes garb for the general public, and theatre/ movies,
She made me a custom Justacorp, black with red pipping trim.  Matching weskit too. They are exquisitely made, with full attention to all the historically correct details ( fullness of cuff and length, etc etc). 

You can see her basic one  here on her website:  http://www.audreycarol.com/store/     pirate

To my eye, the best one I've seen out there.  Mine gets compliments all the time and everyone tries to steal it at Faire.
If the rum's gone, so is the fun

My ultimate Justacorps would be 95% period, have huge full outer pockets, a smaller inner pocket on the lapel. and cost under $200.00 USD

 I have a Kristi Smart coat too.  One of her early ones, before she started to make them a bit more nautical. These coats also get tons of compliments. 

Our first faire performing , I wore mine, initially.  Got lots of women folk making nice comments!  Then my son , same size as me, asked if he could wear it for a bit. I said OK. Suddenly, he is the one getting all the attention and phone numbers! "Gimme that back" says I.   A nice coat to say the least.
