Historical stuff

 So what did I get my daughter in the end?

I can't even remember who/what sparked off the idea, but her reaction when I asked if she'd like one for her birthday was "Definitely!  As long as I don't buy it first"  

Good quality reproduction, made to size, Naval Lieutenant's uniform. (Lin's brother is paying for half of it)

I know!
I freely admit to drooling over it myself.

And for a hand made item, I think the price was fair (well, if it lives up to expectations) Around £120 including postage.

That seems very fair. Look forward to hearing about it when it arrives.

Wow! Does it come with trousers/hat, or is it just the uniform coat?

(£120 is definitely reasonable for a tailored coat.)

Just the coat. I don't think you get the shirt either.
