    I also fear making a pair of stays but I know I will soon have to venture into that area

    Cheers all!

    I looked at the Facebook photos. The work I saw was so well done. I hope to some day achive that degree of quality.

    Thank you kindly sir... time and patience... a love for the craft helps out alot

    Now its time to work on proper camp

  3. Any documentation on the knitted coif? I wear a linen one under my statute cap, but I've never seen reference to a knitted one.

    Hawkyns

    Nope sorry... just common sense... if they made them of linen... they probably knitted them of wool.

    Some things were so common they wouldn't be documented.

    I'm not worried though... my kit will most likely be the most PC kit at this faire.

  4. Here are some updated photos of the ren era pirate kit... did some more research and found that common sailors wouldn't have had fancy jerkins and the like, yet they would have a tunic/shirt_like doublet

    so...

    New linen commoner's doublet

    Open kneed breeches/slops

    commoners knitted cap (akin to the linen sort seen in many period impressions)

    Breeches are similar to venetians and are not hand finshed since the will be covered by the doublet. They have a drawstring waist and a single button fly closure for convenience

    The doublet is hand finished with hemp cord and a single abalone button on the collar

  5. Yes sir they love pirates at Rendezvous and I always have a blast hanging out with the crusty mountain men. However, they are very serious about period correctness. Pirates and mountain men had a closer relationship than most would think... many a pirate's booty ended up in trade channels I'm sure.... floating up the Mississippi.

  6. The most common question I got was: "what are you?"

    Most of the comments I got were about wearing the thrumb cap..... "are you having a bad hair day?"

    None of the rennies even knew what I was....

    OH well......

    I love thrum caps - they always get strange reactions. Mine is too hot to wear in the sun but I usually have it handy for rainy days.

    Mark

    This is exactly my point... I want people to ask what I'm wearing so I can school 'em. Working on a thum cap as we speak

    Anyone Going to queen bess?

  7. Damn you get all the good festivals over there. Been doing some research into this period all month. Just completed a Queen Elizabeth / Francis Walsingham based letter of marque too.

    Yeah well I wish more people were into Elizabethan piracy,,, the Renn faire community could use a healthy dose of PC maritime representation. Currently it's hardly measurable.

  8. Queen Bess and the Pirates usually held in Mid-May in Bakerfield, CA : Elizabethan Era faire with emphasis on pirates and the role they played helping the English fight the Spanish.

    Was held may 16th and 17th last Year @ Sycamore Island in Madera/Fresno, CA

    Who plans on going?

    Who knows any new info?

    post away!
