This weekend, the Regency tailcoat gets ordered for the ball. As much as it is for the ball, it will, in truth, probably become something of a staple in my regular wardrobe, because I'm like that, as such there are color considerations. I am making white breeches to go with it, as I prefer the look of the early-Regency (later they go black, as do the coats). As such, I need to decide on a color for the coat.

I would be less stressed about this if I were making it myself. It's a large investment, so I feel I need something that will cover the needs for as long as it takes to be able to afford another, hence my own leaning towards black right now.

Four hours of sleep and my reading comprehension skills go out the window.

I wonder if it would be a nightmare to make. They're all horribly expensive online, it seems, from what I looked at to get an idea of what you were talking about, and I can't tell if the price more reflects complexity or what they know people will pay for a hard to find product.

It required tailoring skills which are much more significant a skillset than sewing skills. It's certainly beyond my capacity.
