  1. As I stated on another site regarding "Keep to the Code" site, I knew immediatly it was not a Disney owned site. Nothing more than a fan site.

    I've seen a number of fan sites for various actors that also look like they are the real thing when in fact they are not.

    Any info there can be readily found just about anywhere else, so there is nothing new and certianly not worth paying for!

    I hold my sword of truth up to Iron Bess, for no one else would know better than she! Amen!

  2. Now I want to see a picture of you when you get the whole outfit together. I'll bet you might be able to take Ray the bartender down several notches. :huh:

  3. Sadly there be no getting away from the heat in the summer if you're going to wear any kind of frock coat. You're going to sweat. This is the USA, not cold lands across the sea.

    Most of the people I know, myself included tend to lean towards brocaded types of fabric, or cotton velvet. If you can put in a lightweight cotton lining it would help with the heat factor.

    Some people don't put any linings in their coats to keep it lightweight. However unless you are a well and knowledgeable maker of costumes and know the tricks of how to do seams, you end up with fraying, loose threads hanging out or seams that have been badly Sergered, all showing when you least expect it.

    I would never make a coat or bodice for someone without a lining.

    For someone who is paying serious dollars to have a coat made, unless otherwise specified by the buyer not to put a lining in, it's expected.

    Quality is far better than quantity.

  4. Ok, I've got another place you can get steel boning here it is: Dragonmarsh products

    Dragonmarsh also has a nifty variety of other goodies. I had heard from several people they had gone out of business. But thankfully I heard back from my looooong time friend they are still around.
