My son, age 14, may be playing music at a historic site next week. The site
doesn't insist on historic dress for performers, but it's a nice touch. The
site is focused on the Lewis & Clark expedition, c. 1800, Midwestern US,
working class. This is SO out of my period of expertise.
I'd like to put something together for him that won't be too jarring amid the
people who are in costume. I won't have time to sew an outfit, but I could
alter something or add some accessories. I might be able to knock together a
quick shirt; I'm thinking on the line of Folkwear's Missouri Riverboatman
shirt, which I made once before (though I no longer have the pattern and would
have to re-invent from scratch).
Any other suggestions? I'm guessing blue jeans are out...
Alternative: I would be happy to pay postage if someone can loan me something
suitable. My son is about 5'3" tall and wears a boy's size 14 slim.
