This is a long shot, I know, but I'm looking for a reasonably accurate Royal Navy Captain's uniform of the type worn arond the Napoleonic wars. If anyone knows where I might find one please let me know. If there aren't any available then I might be willing to commission one depending on the price :)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jason,

I have got some pictures of what the coat and waistcoat were like as well as a painting which shows the complete dress but no photos of the whole uniform. The hats were bicorns, two-cornered hats, for most of the officers of the period.

For some reason the forums aren't allowing me to post the pics but I'll upload and send them to you in-world (assuming your forum name is you in-game name!).

Thanks!

Gotty

Look at images from Master and Commander or Mutiny on the Bounty.

Master and Commander is Napoleonic, but if that is what you want, I have that outfit, based on an 1815 PostCaptain uniform:



It can be found on the SLEx:
