I recently purchased one of Nick's economy sack coats for our park's interpretive staff. We have a limited budget and this is what I could afford. I was blown away with what we received. The material and color is awesome...pictures do not do it justice. It is well made and I would have no issues wearing this to a top tier authentic event. Even the back of the collar has the "s" stitching on the underside. Five stars!! Highly recommended!
