Where did you find the date on this set of jumps? As the Kyoto Museum exhibit Revolution in Fashion 1715-1815 only dates them as Early 18th century... but it does list them as jumps and not a waistcoat. Their description being Jumps, quilted linen with plant pattern, tied in front with silk taffeta ribbons. They also state in their glossary: Jumps: Woman's soft bodice without boning, usually worn at home instead of a corset. So odds are this particular set are not boned at all. The jacket in the back right is also listed as early 18th century, silk satin with diamond-patterned quilting. This might be something to consider for undress as the sack backs were coming in already toward the end of the GAoP. Oops sorry you can see the jacket in the far right back ...

Aye which reminds me, I have a new beach "ball" fer ye to play with but only in the deep end of the pool...

Ridiculous? Tis dangerous as hell... that's why I want to know more about it... as it was on the news... unfortunately I couldn't hit rewind...

Interested in knowing if anyone else has heard about this... unfortunately I only caught a small bit off the radio and had six others in the car yacking at the top of their lungs, but the gist I got was... The historic sites either in the US or perhaps just in Virginia, are fighting a new proposition/bill, that would stop the teaching of history in the schools... anyone know about this and have more details???

One weekend? Hell, one slip and you'll be aged in an instant....

Animal....shhhhh.... what they don't know, will help me live a lot longer...

Aye but then you'll smell like a horse not a sailor!

Hell man, you have been to Virginia and not stopped by to say hello?

Woo Hoo!!! now to find the deep end of the pool...

Really does make it all worth it, doesn't it Finn? You would have had a blast at the burn camp as well, those kids were really into it.

Best way to age stuff, is by using it, and wearing it as much as possible..as it would have been worn and used. naturally aging something looks so much better especially up close, then the artificial way...

Why is it that we make everything look old? Obviously things were new at one point in time....

Oi McGuyver, ye best share them pictures better than ye shared that treasure!

You should have seen them when I got home... they were really excited about it...

sigh... only cousin Robbie... I think the boy needs a leash...
