Interesting thread on the history of overlock machines.

If you want it to be correct for 18th century British army, you have to be
very careful about the shape of the lapels (the turn backs). And the pattern
of
the lacing (the braid) can be quite tricky, too. (I think you'd be working
from the 1740s clothing regs.)
Would recommend contacting
