Anecdotally speaking, I think slit pockets are more commonly portrayed.<br /><br />I should also add that what is represented on this blog is largely what artists thought sailors should look like, rather than a true-to-life mirror of sailors clothing. I believe you can get a solid idea of an average sailor's appearance from these posts, but always bear in mind that virtually none of these images can be taken at face value on their own.<br /><br />John Newton is an excellent subject for a graphic novel. If you have any other questions, I would be happy to deal with them at length: kdalton@britishtars.comKyle Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428848890576823316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803969651277143887.post-50065653919416439762017-07-23T23:27:06.149-04:002017-07-23T23:27:06.149-04:00Wow, amazing content on your blog.

Now, about the pocket on the jacket, would those normally be horizontal, but have the same type of flap?Paul Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617581357973209390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803969651277143887.post-63452087271648712002016-12-20T23:27:35.391-05:002016-12-20T23:27:35.391-05:00Nice illustration of clothing derails.

Note the hat almost worn completely with the point to the rear (backwards) a common sailor fashion of the period, as you've shown in sundry other prints.Charles Winchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804126896005114825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803969651277143887.post-82178399104795327412016-12-20T09:27:13.488-05:002016-12-20T09:27:13.488-05:00Interesting: and, of course, another project to fi...Interesting: and, of course, another project to fit into the queue!
