RE: Mr. Lincoln's Coat
Hi, Bill,

Thanks for your question. (Sorry for the delay.)

The replica is very special.

In celebration of the newly reopened Ford's Theatre museum (1990), Brooks Brothers donated a replica greatcoat to the National Park Service.

Before they made the replica, a team of Brooks Brothers' master tailors measured the original greatcoat and had its fabric analyzed by a textile preservation company.

In preparing for my "little book" about the coat, which will be published in 2014, I interviewed the two master tailors who created the replica. They remain proud as ever for their valuable contribution.

Jim,

Is the replica on display in its basement?
