Colonial Costumes
Typical colonial men wore an oversized linen shirt underneath a waistcoat (vest) and a coat made of wool or linen (with wealthier men sporting coats of silk or cotton), with a pair of knee-lenght pants called breeches or knickers.

Glued cotton balls to white felt and sewed that into the inside of the hat since it was too hot to wear a wig.
