Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) looking good! if you dont mind, whats the source on the pic (and iff yee have any oootthheerreess on earlier sailors to share lololol......) This is something I wanted for Drake's Raid (1586) -thought it was very interesting. The drawing is of various sailors and officers from 1581. From Milia Davenport's Book of Costume. Book of Costume My kit Liam is making is based on drawing 1117. Check out how the piping on the Jerkin and the Slops mate up in a cohesive design. Pretty darn cool. IOh - and can't wait to see the Jerkin - and wear the kit! Nice work Liam! I am wondering what the hell 1117 is carrying - looks like a giant French Tickler or something....

Fox Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I suspect (but can't confirm) that the original drawing that 117 is based on was by Theodore de Bry, a Dutch artist working in the 1590s - it just looks like his style.

Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Just received everything last night - Very nice job by Liam! I imagine that most people will think I am a 1920s era beach goer /swimmer but hey - I have documentation! I find that a general lack of knowledge (at least on my part) of clothing from the 1500s makes correct clothing look kind of silly to most. I mean, look at 1120 in the drawing above... By the way it looks like he is carrying a rapier with a long blade which is kind of against the grain of what I have read. I thought sailors and military frowned on the long blade rapier and thought is was sissy - perhaps 1120 is French.... I do think 1121 just may be Mad Dogge's long lost great great great grandfather.... And 1119 just may be Patrick Hand's time traveling twin.....
