Larry,

I received a frock from these people just a few days ago. It is important that you request the "Traditional Guernsey" when ordering. The one I received is based off of early Frocks these people have in their posession. They are entirely hand knitted, and the wool is dyed naturally. Early frocks were Navy in color according to the man I spoke with. The quality is exceptional, I have worn mine around the house, but plan on giving a field test at the upcoming territorial.

When I say early, I mean approximately 1857, most of the surviving examples are from that year, as the garment gained military popularity. Is what I have an exact replica of the one Osborne Russel purchased??? I don't know; but I will say that it is as close as you will find today.
They are hand knitted , the wool is from a source that has been around since the 16th century, and they originate in the isles of Guernsey, the same source of Osborne Russels.
