This is the coat that I am converting. Used the wrong word in my other post,the coat is not exactly like the one on the Arabia. But somthing like. Plan on putting flap pocket's on lower front.And changing the button's to a single row of 4 or 5 ,about 1" black horn, or somthing like this. The vent in the back is already closed. Do you feller's think this would look proper for mid 1870s to mid 1880s period on the Texas frontier town's ? Any help would be appreciated,,,,,,,Dusty
