The Cult of the Gorrell Lantern meets every other 5th Thursday, except when there's a full moon.

I really like the waistcoat material, and waistcoat/shirt combination… great work, as always!
-
Well done! I had thought about this, and glad to see you run it out.

Ahhh…
I’ve been known to travel in my riding habit, with my sea bag carrying my ultralight mummy bag and air mattress, change of clothes (mantua, shoes, et al), toiletries, while a basket serves as my carryon for small personal items and goods I didn’t care to have banged around. Very spare packing, and sleeping in a borrowed tent, but it can be done.

Heads up!
Disney is actually doing something! They are re-releasing films to theaters starting next month until October, and Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl is slated to be in select theaters (Marcus Theaters confirmed) in the US from July 7 - 21, 2023! So, we get PotC on it's 20th anniversary!
I say let's show Disney that Pirates is still beloved and spread the word! 🏴☠️
Thank you for the detail and schedule!

Fascinating! And thank you for sharing! Have been attempting a little assisted ancestry digging, but too many common names are muddying the waters…

A mighty fine vessel, to be sure! I am excited to see her maiden voyage.
-
A great capture of your crewe, as well!

I love the concept and art of AC, but I'm a slightly sophisticated button masher, so stealth games are not ideal for me.
😄
I enjoy the challenge of stealth, as well as the adrenaline of fps… just couldn’t wrap my head around the changed controls, and found that a frustrating distraction to the story and graphics.

Count me in! PM to be sent after this reply.
Thank you for organizing this!

I thought I had beta’d that game years back, but your post has renew’d my interest! I love the concepts of AC, but always felt the control less intuitive than other games.

Fit is as perfect as you can hope to get with ready made, standardized sizing. Only complaints on fit is, if it were custom, I'd want them nipped in on the sides under the arms, as my ribcage is ridiculously tiny compared to all my other measurements.
Congratulations, it looks like a beautiful set of stays! Hopefully the armseye is comfortable- they look very well made.
Great progress!

That is a brilliant endorsement!
And much appreciate the suggestion of a good industrial grade adhesive
I have not gotten to the repair work I had hoped to, but will advise on the adhesive qualities once I have.

Found some wool at the thrift store for $10, it's not a full bolt, some pieces have already been cut from it - but I couldn't resist.
Oooh, that a lovely find!

Ah, what a fascinating line of inquiry! I do not recall it being brought forth previously…

Double faced, heavier weight, but with almost silky feel,
You may wish to consider this for a mantua, with a darker colored petticoat and stomacher, matching ribbons for hat and shoes…

Definitely cotton. Definitely canvas.
Depending on stretch (ideally, you want none for stays), the canvas may be good for interlining layers of stays, jumps, etc., as well as great for things like slops, market wallets, ditty bags, snap sacks, cargo bales…

Perhaps simply add a new flap which entirely covers the previous flap and reaches past the zippered compartment? Or remove the zippered compartment, separate and reuse the front to make a pocket front instead.Great finds! You cannot go wrong with free.

I prefer more carefully fitted/tailored coats… gapping at the neck, bunching of the lower back, or poorly fitted/sloped shoulders, make me tear projects apart.
I would offer that you could consider using a lighter/cheaper fabric as your mock-up. Once properly fit and the pattern adjusted accordingly, that initial mock-up can become your lining for the finished coat/waistcoat, stays, etc.
