Have a quesiton for those knowledgable and conversant in SS smocks..has anyone encounterd good ss smocks..oak.or other of the 2nd type with hip pockets and foliage loops with the drawstring eyelets machine sewn in the same manner as is seen on the holes of the belt support ramps on wool tunics? I've seen many pictures of them "hand sewn"..and my beaver book is not realidly available....any help greatly appreciated.unfortunatly..i have no pics to share.but the machine sewing is I'd say identical to the belt hook holes sewing..thanks for the help! If this is something one would rather not discuss on the forum for fear of the repro lurkers..please email me..thanks in advance
m gong to revise my description of the eyelet machine stitching.it almost looks like it was done on the same type of procedure as the gimp cording on the button holes..any help appreciated.

Scott,
All I can say is that I have seen both types of stitching on legitimate tunics. In my experience, the more tightly machine sewn eyelets seem to have been more common with M38/M40 smocks...but I don't know if this was a hard and fast rule.
Mike

Scott - Are these what your asking about? The smock is a known reproduction.

If we�re talking about the same thing the only originals I�ve ever seen or owned looked like this -

Here is a photo of the machine sewn string holes on my plane tree 1/2 second type smock.
On this model it was quite common with machine sewn holes.
