James de Avesnes:
Hi I'm new here, so this may have been answered before.  How does one make a trace and mantling?  Specifically, what materials were they made of and are there specific patterns for different time periods.  Thanks for your time.

Sir Edward:

Hi there! Do you mean the torse and mantle? Basically linen, silk, or wool. Some of the mantles may have been leather. But the torse should be more of a fine fabric.

Sir William:
Sir Edward, I think now would be a good time to show off the ones you and Sir Brian have crafted; quite good to my eyes and exactly what this man's looking for.

Sir Brian:
I'll have to get back to this one as I'm running late to meet with my seamstress and then off to sword practice!  :)

James de Avesnes:
Great!  I'm looking forward to seeing your torse and mantle projects.  Thanks for your help.
