  • Trousers, about 1820-1850

    Worn by a member of the Mitchell family of New York State.Used on an everyday basis for hard work.

  • Vest, about 1790

    A rare survival of a winter or fall waistcoat used for hunting or sporting underneath a jacket.It seems likely the bright red color was akin to the orange vest used by hunters today.An expensive piece and few have survived.
