Crooked Tale Pirate Steampunk Addition

Finished up the Steampunk coat for my Steampunk Black Beard costume. Excuse the unfaltering pictures, it's how an extra 10 pounds and a fluffy pirate shirt make you look. The coat is a 1830's Tail Coat from a pattern I purchased. But I changed it into a Swallow Tail coat (I do not have a good picture of the back, no one is here to take one. The collar looks large because they were large between the 1830's and the 1840's. After that time period the collars became much thinner.
