Stoler's Revolutionary Costume - 2002-2004Many, even most, people who saw the costume, would say, "Hey, George Washington!" But the uniform Washington wore was blue with buff -- yellowish tan -- trim, not red. Stoler was going more for naval hero John Paul Jones (not to be confused with the member of Led Zeppelin.) Who would have sailed on a ship like this. Well, this is a model Stoler built of the USCG Eagle, a modern tall ship. (The costume, unfortunately, was lost in 2007, and is much lamented.)

On a fireworks cruise on the Bay. It was a little cold. |
Wait, what day is the 4th of July again? |
