Title: MY new surcoat
Post by: ECOX on 2011-10-31, 00:39:50

Here are the pics for my new surcoat and the beginning of my new personna. Also Finished my mantle and torse. (http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af8/wolfnyghteyes/102_5344.jpg)(http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af8/wolfnyghteyes/102_5345.jpg)

Thank You.  It is  from http://www.wildrosefarm.com/. (http://www.wildrosefarm.com/.) facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ethereal-Threads/116348339221 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ethereal-Threads/116348339221) . They are the ones that I bought my Templar from. I designed the color scheme and sent them a email describing it.
 The rough in of my new personna is of Welsh decent named Rhys Coch. Coch is a earlier form of my real last name Cox. I am going for a mix of H.A and some fantasy. I want to have a charge, ( what is the proper name for the emblem on my chest?), of a Cockatrice.  The cocke being the namesake of Cox and the Cockatrice being a little more fierce.

Go for it. It looks quite nice. What period are you shooting for?

Later 1300's. I am working on a new hauberk with longer selves and eventually reworking my coif after that.

Looks good! I think you're off by a century though. It's looking like late 13th, meaning late 1200's. :)

I like your choice of coloring. I am working on a surcoat myself but have yet to sew it, I am dying it black though to match my coat of arms or maybe i'll just go with a Teutonic knight style surcoat as Ulrich seems like the perfect name for a german knight. Anyway what did you make it out of? Cotton? Linen?

Thanks everyone.
@Sir Ulrich. I had the surcoat made, I only made the mantle and torse. But the fabric is a heavy cotton.

Looks great!  :)
- Funny when you first posted the pictures wasn't showing up for me so I couldn't actually *see* the new surcoat everyone was commenting on...so frustrating!  :-\
