Capt. Sterling

I am... Rats wants some common stuff and that would be the ideal pattern to work from for the look.... I think I'll start and then he can finish with the pricketty stitchin.....

... Must ... Not ... Respond .... ... Must ... Exert ... Rare .... Self .... Control ........... And Cheeky... Depending on the woman chosen, and how one decides to conduct oneself in the commitment, one could end up with both in the same!

I have to agree with Coastie here, the best method unless you really understand the human body and dying fabrics is to just wear it a LOT! then the item will age naturally and properly. Also for those of you who do not wish to ruin yer kit, try Fueler's earth... I believe that is the proper spelling, it is what is used on film sets for dirt...

You mean we have to chose one??? I am most partial to the frock coat...

"Tis true we hear what we want t' hear, hey Captain; and I hear Aurore callin' ye, Captain Sterling." Actually Aurore and Lilly are about to duke it out over in Port Royal... I'll be lucky if I can duck....

Aye Rats from what I've seen pocket flaps during the GAoP started out any where from nonexistant to plain simple flaps, like my brown coat, to very elaborate and complicated affairs... the simple curved flaps on the original coat I sent you pictures of, are quite the common style for 1720s-30s at the tail end of or just after the GAoP.

"Of course you can buy me a drink. My favorite, if you don't mind. Champagne with a tot of tattoo. As for being a good samaritan, why, surely you would do me the same honor, should I be so in my cups...er, glasses...as to stumble into the Pub wearing naught but my birthday suit. But," Blushes, "I might need more than just a hat. Maybe a hat and a nice sash." Sterling's head pops up from the crowd..."Did someone say Ransom is sans clothing?"

but of course... united

The most common treatment of hems and edges from the period would be raw for wool and turned in for other fabrics such as silk... unfortunately it is hard to come across good wool now adays to get away with raw edges... the black coat I was fortunate enough... the brown I was forced to turn in or it would not survive more than one or two wearings... but both coats are entirely prick stitched by hand as was common for the time.

orgy but I perfer one on one lady...

Okay Shameless plug here... come to RF2 and you will be able to pick some of these amazing brains!!! (and I don't mean mine, there be nothing amazing here, I just follow instructions well...)

Feast

Seconds?

Sterling was shocked by the actress's unexpected appearance. He watched as she glided, ever so gracefully into the room. Immediately he was stirred when he looked upon her and yet he found himself equally annoyed by her unannounced arrival. "Home says you. And where might that be Mistress?" he asked in a low tone. "I can think of only one place that might qualify for such a claim and that great ship is still in the dockyards under repair. And the 'Angel hardly home nor any place for a lady such as thyself. Would thee drag me back to England then? I have no home there, only a room, loaned me by the kind consideration of the Empress. And if thee but knew her mind's thoughts regarding the two of us as of late, England is not where thee would wish to go either. I would wish the chance to speak mine piece to Cate, but I will not beg her if she fails to understand the truth. And as thee well know, I am in no condition to travel. Nay Mistress McKinney, at the moment I have no home but I do find some comfort here. Until I or Dr. Reiley say other wise, here I will..." Sterling stopped as he heard footsteps approaching. This time they were too light to be Christophe returning. And their soft padding too rapid to be Meagan's. He looked across the room as Aurore entered and he felt himself relieved that she was back and safe. And yet he had not expected the challenge she issued as she looked at Lilly.... "I will not ask how you managed entrance, but I would advise you remove yourself imediately...."

Oui? Lovely!

You bet! wanting

Consider yerself blackmailed Cap'n Pete, especially since ye did not make mention of yer luck in the parking lot to me and the crewe nor did ye point out said lass later in the day!

Give up?? surely you've missed the lady's photograph...Never says I!! unrelenting

succumb

Not the best photo background by far... but one which shows the coat better

mesmerising

bewitching

very fresh!

You really should excuse yourself, woman, whenever you "bump." I mean, you know, polite company and all. Cap'n Pete our lives would be so much duller if we hadn't met you!!!

Sterling looked once more across to the Frenchman. "Ye think me selfish then, because I wish to know how she feels, what she has not spoken, has not said to me as of yet? Aye, then mayhaps I must be, for I desire greatly to be enlightened as to the matters of her heart. I have been around, too often, women who would do as she has done and it made no difference to them. Do not misunderstand me," he added, quickly raising one hand as Christophe bristled and straightened from the door frame. "I have every right to ponder as I know her not, but desire so very much to do so..." he said, then laid back into the pillows..."I would be truly grateful for her quick and safe return to this house. I cannot overemphasize that even with Killingsworth's death, if Darnely has cause against the Devareaux family, none of them are safe on their own."
