Sheesh...!
I get it. From one re-enactor to another, just let them keep tottering on about it till the thread dies from loss of interest. You tried, and hopefully the original person can get the info they want.

I won't even go near the fact that a Dickens Festival is off, let alone one in the USA. Isn't being miserable, poor, dirty, and having a tragic back story a requirement to truly celebrate in the Dickens tradition?

Woodsheal, my main concern is what is the proper thread count on a Dickens era frock, and are the button holes hand sewn? (only the re-enactors will get this)
