heavier weighted stuff. nice prices. good I think for surcoats, coat of plates etc. maybe even for clothing, I usually wear like the 5 or 5.3 stuff

[Sir Edward]

Wow, they actually have several different blues this time. I bought some ugly blue a while back before finding better stuff (the "true blue" they have on page 2). I still need to use it before I think about buying more though.

[Sir Matthew]

I need to remake my gambeson, after like 5 or 6 years it's finally starting to unravel at a few places. Maybe I'll order something from here to use on the outer layer since when I wear it with the Brig and Vambraces you can see it around the elbows. Might be nice to have a splash of color there instead of black.

[Sir Patrick]

We can always count on Sir Wolf to come up with a great deal or a cool site!

[Sir Brian]

 

ARRRRRRRHHHHH!
And I just paid full price for my heavy linen a couple of weeks ago!

Well I did manage to buy the dupioni silk on sale at Hancock fabrics last night at $11.99 a yard instead of $15.00 a yard.

[Sir William]

Oh wow...what'll I do with this material?  I'm no seamstress...and the one I do know of, has never made anything medieval so I'd rather she try her hand using lesser materials...still, thanks for sharing Sir Wolf.  I can always dream about such a surcoat.  lol

[Sir Wolf]

i would say order the fabric and contact Sir Edwards future sister in law (tee hee that sounds funny after all these year) and see what you can work out for her to make you something! she's gggggggreat

[Sir Edward]

Yep, like I said, I don't know what her schedule is like. She does an awesome job, but doesn't need to advertise because by word of mouth she gets more work than she has time for. She's in the wonderful position of being able to turn down work.

[Sir William]

Maybe Sir Edward will provide the introduction so that I may pose that question one day?  I would like to have a full-on silk/linen surcoat...but what colors/devices should I use?  Thankfully, I have time to think about it.  This'd like the ultimate tho.  At least until the next one happens along!

[Sir Edward]

Yep, we can ask her about it.

But yeah, you'd definitely need to figure out all those details. It took me a while to settle on my heraldry. We drew up over 40 shield designs, and gradually narrowed it down to about 5, then I got stuck for a while. I wanted to be sure I was happy with it before committing it to paint.

[Sir William]

Understood...nothing worse than getting the final details together only to find that you just DON'T LIKE IT.
