Dates I need dates... work is usually slow during that time of year.

LOL I love this thread.

Ditto! What Lady Brower said.

I was going to mention Dharma Trading Co. I've ordered several yards of fabric from them and I highly recommend them.

Although from a PC perspective I'm not sure how PC the blend is. But this isn't Twill so I digress.

Perhaps....

hahahahhahahahahaha..... ok time to bring up this drunken thread once again....

I love the pub..... ok discuss.... lol!!!!!

Sorry I had to bring it up.

I take it this a boned garment? If so, is it fully boned like our stays for GAOP?

That's ok he can stand and try to hide there. What he doesn't realize is that the Lt. March or I are standing guard on that side.

I can't help with the cap but the slops I can add my findings and opinions.

We know in the GAOP they had second and third hand clothing. So sure you can ragged clothing but does that fit with your persona? Like Capt'n Sterling told me, "clothing was new once." I know from experience that I won't "age or distress" my clothes. I'm too hard on them at events. Of this is from a historical perspective.

Bravo!! Very nice my friend Very nice.

Thanks Foxe. This will help me with my Quartermaster impression.

A comfortable home just before the out skirts of town. A nice place for the wife and child to live while I'm away at sea chasing those nasty pirates. It wouldn't be as extravagant as Sterling's plantation but we don't need it to be. We'll just come and visit.

Ahhh, the classic MTV rolling "boat" shot. Gotta love it. It adds drama and excitement, not mention you can't even see whats actually going on.....

Here is the finished product.

Video Engineer and Projectionist for corporate meetings. Basically a high end AV guy.

Thanks it gives me a good idea of what we could be carrying aboard ship.

lol but I cheat on the french seam, I use a machine. I think I might lose my FA (formerly FB) status.

Since we are drifting from the original topic, perhaps the Moderators could split and move this discussion over to twill?

I would also respectfully disagree. I've seen and rechecked most of the plates that Sterling has posted and I've seen extant garments that do not have the shoulder seam that far down. Please check this thread 1710 Waistcoat. Clearly the shoulder seam is on top.

Those are great! I don't think I phrased my question correctly. I'm looking for "what" would have been on board. (Most likely to have.) Would you be carrying around extra lumber? Lines and canvas? If so how much?

Perhaps that will help. Thanks again for the info posted, tis a grand thing to know were this stuff goes.

Ha I just found this thread. (with good reason) Very interesting... thanks Mission!

I'm having a hard time finding info on spare "stuff" used for repairs. I've read that lead was used for patches and wooden pegs. We know that spare sails were around but where would this stuff be stored? Is there a book or website that references the ship stores? I'm kinda stuck....

I'm wondering if we could find out the properties of "week old" urine and maybe make a cleaner version? Or just use a diluted ammonia to wash clothes in.... I would be willing to throw a shirt in there just to see how it comes out. Hey it would be great to make a natural linen shirt and wash it every time in an ammonia solution and see how long it takes to bleach white.

I've heard that's how the Romans made white clothing. Supposedly it was good business collecting urine and "aging" it for wash use.

Ok whoose going to be the first one to wash their kit in urine to be really "authentic".
