Sir Patrick:
Finished this project on Thursday, just in time for the trip to the Kansas City Ren Festival.  I used the pattern from this site (very easy to make): http://whitemountainarmoury.com/pdfs/armingCoat.pdf  I used pre-quilted, double-faced material to save me a lot of sewing.  Before anyone asks, it is 100% cotton facings AND fill.  Thanks Sir James for the excellent arming point tutorial (sewing all those holes was a PITA).  Also made a pair of matchng chauses like the ones Sir Brian did a few seasons back.  Wore them to the KCRF today (85 and sunny) with NO heat problems!

Sir James A:
Glad that tutorial helped. It's a bit out of date, I've been punching holes in the leather around the perimeter now and sewing it directly to the garment now.

Arming coat looks good!

Lord Dane:
I like it & the new avatar. :)

Sir Douglas:
Heh. I know that pattern! I just made an aketon a few weeks ago and used that selfsame tutorial.

I must say, yours is a lot snazzier than mine, though. ;)

Sir Brian:
Awesome job! I used that same material to make my arming chausses. Works great and is very comfortable! :)
