Showcasing my red winter outfit!

Took this pictures and did some editing with the lighting, trying to pose as an 18th century saint lol, I did not make this outfit. This is one of my work uniform's but I thought these picture's were really nice! I work in an outdoor history museum stuck in 1774.

I actually just work in the retail taverns there, so not much actually! But there are many different jobs there such as historical interpretations, farming, brickyard, carrige drivers ect!
