Title: working on my 14th century soft kit
Post by: Sir Wolf on 2011-01-21, 05:42:30

look what I made!

the cotehardie needs some finishing around the cuffs, neck and hem.  I am working on some simple shoes, guarders, and belt(not scene in photos). will have to make the purse to go with it as well. hmm and a dagger.... and... hehehe.

Looking good Chuck. Funny I am working on my 14th C stuff too, mostly to go hang with La Belle this summer.

You know, I had no idea what that first pic was til I hit your PB site and saw it was a hood.  I thought it was a jacket folded weird so only one sleeve showed...I thought that odd but what do I know?  lol

Well done, Sir Wolf!  You have some real skill!  Can't wait to see the finished kit.

many thanks guys. got my guarders done and my belt almost there, just need to make the tongue for the buckle, sheen the dye in (so it doesn't bleed on me) and make a purse. still haven't hemmed or done the fine stitching yet either hmmm ehehhe. as soon as this is done I'll move forward on the hard kit.

thinking of making a pair of padded chausis rather than buying some. I dunno, at 40 bucks that awful hard to pass up

Wear a belt like in your later images. Also iron the seams flat and then if you feel like it hand stitch the seems down with a whip stitch.

where is LaBelle going this summer?

They have a June even on the beach in Cape May New Jersey; Kim and I signed up to go this year. If you want to hit an event with them you will have to come to a meeting and get your gear approved; likely your colors will be considered too bright for a lowly archer :D

Next meeting is at our house on 2-12/2-13 if you want to come and learn about what they are up too. BTW they are going to start doing a 1415 camp by Colonial Plantation this year.
