I'll have to check. The guy who invited me is from a unit of Highlanders,
but I was thinking I'd just stick to my civilian clothes. Unfortunately,
those have about everything I need -- except a coat.
OTOH, if it's strictly military thing, I'll probably just stick to modern
stuff.

Are there any good patterns readily available?

Which Rev war event are you going to? There are alot of variatins that can be
used.
Alot depends on who you are going with, and where it is. The Northeast tends
to be more (straightlaced?) in regards to clothing , the Highlanders
especially in the south can be a bit looser in alot of things. You can always
use the alternative of smallclothes, shoes and hat and a work smock or shirt
over the top very natural, very authentic, pretty fast to put together. and it
makes you a local farmer hanging out with the troops and selling his produce or
a camp follower/drover who drives the baggage wagons you get the drift of this
thought.
