Jack Roberts

so Jack, does this mean you are now Dutch?

Lol I don't think so, but we can discuss it this weekend. I do like my earrings.

Yes I would think the clothing underneath the Petticote breeches are drawers (underwear!)

Ahh yes now that is definitely an earring and they are petticote breeches. Look at that coat to. the Sleeves button all the way up. Very cool.

Foxe isn't that another Dutch sailor also? mmmmm

Dang that's cool. Couples of things that jump out to me.

The Slashed sleeves of the coat. I can't seem to recall seeing them anywhere else in this period.

(Sterling, Foxe any ideas?) Everything else is looking about right to me. I like the sash and 2 pipes also.

Now let me preface this with I wear earrings and really wish I could keep them in at events.

I'm going to play devils advocate. Perhaps the earring that we are seeing is a wart or skin tag

if some sort? Just a thought.

Haha yes I know but it's such a good picture I couldn't pass it up. Besides we had some role reversal going on with that skit.

Oh no.... It's swelling..... I don't think it'll make thru the door.....

And if you look really close at the pic of Barboosa right leg, it's wrapped in blue screen material. Looks like he's lost a leg.

Hope you got to see it while it was up.

Yep Beufort should be fun, can't wait

Well I don't have painters canvas but 10oz canvas duck. I would think the weave of painter tarps are looser. you can try this. Wash the tarps in hot water and dry hot. This should help to shrink the weave a little.

Try it on one of them and then take it outside test it. Spray it with a water hose and see if she soaks through. Mine is completely untreated and is water tight. Well I will get drips through but that can be solved by running your finger to "train" the water were to go.

Besides wouldn't the Quartermaster be actually be doing the "whippings"?

Very nice Dutch! I likey...

Take a video of it in action sometime.

Dang it Dogge, I would love to have a growler in FL.

Yeah tis a shame I couldn't be there to make 'im walk again.

Now I didn't do the nifty "triangle" pocket openings as in the period pockets. I just did a straight cut.

I sew my pockets in outer front pieces first, then I'll construct the rest of the outer shell.

This makes it possible to tuck the linings inside the garment.

Check these out.

Now when you sew the linings in, I sew them on the outside and push them through to the inside. Vintage Pocket making

This is a website I used as a guide. Not necessarily PC but it gave me the right idea.

Hope this helps.

We stayed at Leo's are first PiP in '06. They have limited tent sites. So get on it early.

You could try browning or blueing the blade. I like the way blueing looks.

Ooohhh.... pretty. I like the matching shoes too.

uummmm..... that's down right amazing.....

and there is a Mrs. F?!?! I didn't know..... and she's quite handy with a needle. (Actually better than me for sure!)

Bravo!! Wish I could see them at the next event but alas.... Foxe you're too far away.

Still most excellent work. They look great!

Yep that would be him.

Well it looks machine stitched and if they're buying leather in bulk that might help the raw material price. It's also not dyed which of course adds cost.

Haha! Just you wait Capt'n Scury, just you wait.....

Wot!?!? No pictures??
