Does anyone know where I might be able to find Reconstructing History RCH710? I'd like to make a highwayman's coat like the one depicted on the cover of the pattern.

have you tried http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/ ?

To be more specific.

That's the problem I've been running into. It seems that pattern is out of stock everywhere I look.

Pennsic in about a week?

Here are two additional sources if RH is out:

Jump into the RH tent at pennsic, stare bug-eyed at Brewer, and yell STAND AND DELIVERrch710!

Doing some colonial re-enactment stuff? cool!

I won't be making it to Pennsic. =(

I'm actually not doing reenacting with this at all, really. I'm wanting a modified Highwayman's Coat and the only one I've seen available is the horrible black "Brotherhood of the Wolf" one.

I'm thinking olive green canvas with a lighter accent color. =D

Id get on the RH site, and ping Kass, and see when she'll have more ready, myself. (Or just chat her on FB.. I think Bob might already be on his way to Pennsic.. if not, there might be one in the van)

So, just for everyday wear?
You sure you want canvas?

I don't tend to wear coats very often unless it's either windy or rather cold, anyway. If I could find something durable, I'd consider another fabric. Maybe even wool if I could locate some for a good price.

Um. I have it in stock. I print them myself, in-house. I better have them in stock!

When did it show out of stock or backordered? We had some issues with our website about ten days ago that might have shown you erroneous inventory information.

Just order through this link. If you order before noon Thursday I will ship your pattern personally. (Okay, I ship all of our patterns personally, but it sounds awesome when the VP of a company tells people stuff like that! )

Cheers!

What happens when Kass is out of stock on a pattern? She kicks the printer. And Bob goes OW!

Great! Thanks! (So even though it says "Item is on Backorder" it's not a big deal like it would be with a regular manufacturer, eh?)

It didn't say that when I just looked at it. If your browser is telling you that, try CTL+R (or the equivalent of a hard reload for your browser). It's there, I promise you.

Cheers,

Bob

P.S. Maeryk, please don't remind Kass that she can kick me. I'm just getting over some lovely bruises.

LMGTFY Bob.

I was able to place the order, but here's what I saw when I followed the link that was provided to me:

well, next time call! Bob's cheery voice with any of six possible accents will say "For you? I DO TOMORROW!"

Yeah, that's weird. I think you need to reset something, because the back end of the website is showing 998 in stock!

And yes, you do get your pick of accents. No, there is no menu.

How about 'Peggy' from the Discover commercials?

Yes, I can do that.
