Fur Era patterns for breeches, trousers, and shirts

[sumoj275]

Just getting into this great adventure.   I am shooting for as accurate HC that I can get without breaking the bank.  I have already to do my own clothing, and eventually leathers.  What I need to know is where I can find good patterns for the Fur Period, especiall in lets ay a bit bigger than small size.  I am going for the middle late 30's something that has had a rough life, still working for the AFC, not caring much about what others in civilized life are doing.  Kinda a bit like me now 

Thanks for any help.  Once I get some stuff going I will post up here.

There are several good patterns here on the site and in several books on the subject that you should be able to get from your local library at no charge (unless you keep them too long!)
