Description
From the Envelope Back
This is originally a Kittel, or over-garment, worn by workers in Germany, Switzerland, and France. Soft peats fall from a wide neckband; sleeves connect to side-panels with gussets and are pleated at the wrists into buttoned bands. Shoulder yokes and pocket welts are sometimes decorated with chain-stitching (design and instructions included), as are the neck and wrist bands. Our Black Forest Smock can be worn by men as an over-shirt, and by women as a mid-calf length dress.
Pattern Specifics
Folkwear 108 includes the full-size pattern pieces, and instructions for making the Black Forest Smock. Enlarge the photo for a better look at the details. Let me know if you’d like to see the envelope back. This is sized for Men and Women S-M-L (36-54″ chest). The envelope measures 11-1/4″ x 8-3/4″ and the pattern is printed on bond paper.
Condition
See photo. The envelope is in good condition for age (1976) with some lighter wear, particularly on the corners as would be expected. The pattern and instruction sheets are as new in original factory folds. No names or other markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day you pay. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard (to help prevent the Post Office from bending it), wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then send inside a manila envelope when sent via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a First Class 2 package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
