New Mantle
Sir Patrick:
It's getting there. Of course we all know "there" is a constantly moving target!
Sir Martyn:
Looks great! Where'd you get the pattern, Sir Patrick?
I need to do mine for MD RenFest...
Sir Brian:
Looking good Sir Patrick!:)
Sir William:
On dry cleaners- they'll mess it up, but they won't replace the item, at least, not at one that messed up a Crusader surcoat. It says dry cleaning, but the cross bled all over it. When I approached them about it, they apologized, but said that was all they were going to do. I took my business elsewhere from that point.

No pattern really. I just tapped some butcher paper around the crown and drew the basic shape. Once I got that how I wanted it I folded it in half and cut it out. I traced that pattern on another sheet butcher paper and laid out the dag placement using the charge patterns from my surcoat. There is no top to my mantle. The helm is conical which would be a nightmare to tailor, and no one sees it anyway because of the crest.
