<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9819750, member: 76316"]I'm guessing...but sewing machines weren't common, if available at all, if those breeches were made circa 1776. So <i>all</i> the stitching would necessarily be by hand; the presence of machine stitches (unless much later, as repairs?) would be a clue as to an approximate not-made-before date. Is that a reasonable assumption?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
