Sure -- the remnants were quite fragmentary but included a lot of hems, buttonholes, lacing holes, and whatnot that helped work out the edges. It's a pretty straightforward shaped 4-panel body, so it needs to be fitted rather than drafted. But for someone who isn't sure where to start, it's a confidence booster.

I can post the Charles coat as well -- it's complete and in great shape. It's not quite the most typical outer garment shape from the era -- the other one I'm looking at is that relatively long-narrow grandson of the houppelande.
