Lost and Found Jacket

Lost and found jacket.This yellow rain jacket showed up during one of our sessions this spring. I thought it belonged to someone at Plimoth but it’s been hanging around for months and no one has claimed it, so I was wondering, did you leave it here? If you’re coming back we can save it for you. If not let me know and we’ll ship it home. It’s getting tired of talking to the period garments all day. They won’t break character.

    speaking of lost jackets, I’ve never been able to view the piece that the jacket embroidery is based on, even if I go to the site you mentioned and put in the numbers that are supposed to be it.

    Any hints for me?
