This was found at a local flea market... when I saw it I couldn't believe it With all the talk about Knights of Pythias, K of C, and Odd Fellows! Anyone wanna try to ID the group, time, rank, etc? The stitching and needle work is very detailed, and the cotton weight is high quality! The coat and leggings rock! Thanks for Looking.... HH M

Re: What fraternal group did this uniform belong to

Blue yellow and red are the colors of the KOP , I haven't seen one of these on my recent searchs, any design on the buttons ? what is that brass looking item near the neck ? I think the henderson ames tag dates it to 1893 to 1923

Thanks for the ID. As for the buttons on it, they are quite plain, but they sort of have a glittery look to them, no raised design though. It is in perfect condition, not a rip or tear in it. I had no idea it was so old.... HH M.
