My New COA
Sir Edward:
Historically they could be made of silk, linen, or wool. It would depend on your wealth, how durable you would want it to be, availability of fabric, etc.
Sir William:
In what order are they, from richest to poorest?
Sir Edward:
I'm not sure how linen and wool compared, in terms of cost. Silk would be the most expensive I think.
Sir Brian:
Which still holds true today! :D
btw,
Ok so I’ve been psychically making this surcoat and how best to do the white portion of it. I was thinking of cutting the wavy shape on two pieces of white silk then sew them together to form an appliqué then sew that onto the surcoat. :-\
Sir Edward:
That's probably a good way to do it. A lot would have been done as appliques back in the day anyway. If you can pin it in place, you can run some curvy stitch lines to stitch down the edges. I'm not sure how it's done, but I've seen appliques with edge stitching that's kinda like that dense stitching done in button-holes. Or, you could hem the edges before attaching them.
