Dear friends,
The Spencer Jacket Pattern is now ready to share. Please visit my website at www.jpryan.com directly to learn more about the Jacket as search engines are not yet finding the latest version of my website.
Thanks for your kind support and encouragement.

Buttonhole embellishments on this frock coat, as well as those on my riding habit, may be commissioned from [email protected]. Two styles of embellishments are currently available, on offer in either silver or gold. Embroidered silk taffeta button covers come in a variety of patterns and color combinations. Designs are based on embroidered extant 18th C. examples.
