  1. some breeches come with a flap inside to cover the opening when its fully stretched. dont know how authentic that is, but better than having issues.
  2. You might want to extend the opening slightly lower, so they dont tear out. with your shirt tucked in there are no vanity issues...

  11. According to Hemptraders where I bought it, its 2/5 of an inch. I measure 3/8 inch. You can definitely go smaller, and I may next time.
  12. Well, there goes my supply of hemp rope! 10 foot lengths with newly made dogbones.
  13. scotchgard, most likely. No matter what you use that part gets expensive
  14. I think its 10oz. I need to waterproof it too. There's still hemp rope left over from my last buy, but I haven't cut it up yet.
  15. I really need more acceptable stakes and hemp rope, but here it is. I used 4 poles I had from a civil war fly and added two more which I'll probably segment with a canopy cannector. Then I can shorten the pole and drop one side of the fly to block the sun.
  16. I think the mix was like 2-3 tablespoons to the can. this way the alcohol soaks into the wool, dries and leaves the shellac in the wool. Maybe you were mixed too thick and it couldnt penetrate?
  17. I was talking slops not breeches on the Kanniks corner. they are french fly
  18. It seems that I recall someone saying that the seat was cut a bit tight based on the RH pattern. But that was many years ago, like 10 years! I started with the pattern from Kanniks Korner and used it without issue. Later I narrowed the waistband and used gathers instead of pleats to make them more authentic looking
  19. This shellac mixture will make the floppiest hat hold its shape. It may take several applications, but I'm sold on this stuff. You can always mix it stiffer than the recipe calls for too. fyi, I think we got the exact same hat!
  20. I just want to add that Capt Richard is a hard but caring man. He has saved my life on several occasions, and put himself between the pyrate hunters and myself on many more occasions. He is always quick to offer aid to those in need on sea or land. I suspect our Pyrate ways have made him a bit wary, which might be the reason he is off on "errands" much of the time. But as we all know, what he brings back serves to enrich everyone in the crew. signed on this Sabbath, 22nd May 1718
