Jacky Tar Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Kenneth Yer hat doesn't look that stiff; ye did a great job. Where did ye get the pattern fer the jacket, if I may ask? Chris I know yer goin' fer accuracy; so, why is yer waistkit (vest) so short? I still think yer slops an the rest o' yer kit looks great. Rumba That is a wonderful picture, luv. Did Tiger Lee take it? Lily Yer husband an yer self, look grand. Bleedin' tombstones! Whoa!
Rumba Rue Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Yes Tiger Lee took the picture. I have another one on order from him, but haven't received it yet....hmmm better send him another email.... BTW- The button on my right side of my bodice says: Men, not just for breakfast anymore. Yes, I love that picture...it says so much about me....REBEL!!!!

michaelsbagley Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 So here is a new picture of me in my garb... I still have to add buttons and sew the buttonholes in the jackets.... but other than that and shoes, think this outift is pretty much as done as it is going to get... Well the wasitcoat shrunk a bit and doesn't fit as well anymore (NO I did NOT gain weight ), so I am going to replace it, and maybe in a tan or light brown rather than the grey... The jacket is a dark navy blue and not black as it kind of looks in the picture.
HildeKitten Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I think it might be the coloursetting to your computer because the jacket is a really nice navy on my laptop screen :) I really quite like how that jacket came out, and I love that color, it's so hard to find a nice dark blue! I actually quite like the grey colourwise with the rest of the outfit, I'm not sure an earthtone would match as well. But that's just my opinion, in the end you should get the colours you like regardless of what anyone else thinks :) House of Secrets Incorporated Fashion and costume design For all your piracy needs
callenish gunner Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 The kit looks good to me, lad!! A right fyne looking rogue.... a bit on the clean side of the game but good for gathering information while in port as to the cargo and shipping routes being sailed ................
michaelsbagley Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I think it might be the colour setting to your computer because the jacket is a really nice navy on my laptop screen :) Yeah, I was looking at the pic on my laptop... It makes everything darker, it looked correct on my proper computer. Don't hate me, but I picked up 4 yards of that particular wool for $20 on a roll end clearance. I had just enough of it left to bang out a pair of breeches as well. I actually quite like the grey colourwise with the rest of the outfit, I'm not sure an earthtone would match as well.But that's just my opinion, in the end you should get the colours you like regardless of what anyone else thinks :) I appreciate the advice, I was thinking of trying to go for a more mis-matched look, but I agree, the grey really does look pretty much perfect with this outfit. I think I still have enough of the grey wool, maybe I will re-make the waistcoat in it... a bit on the clean side of the game but good for gathering information while in port as to the cargo and shipping routes being sailed . It is still new garb Callenish, this was the first time I wore it out. Give it some time and me a chance to wear it out a few times, I guarantee it will get nice and grungie looking quickly enough! But thank you both for the comments and feedback!
Mary Diamond Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Very nicely done, Mr. Bagley! A fine looking kit, indeed. Oooh, shiny!
Captain Midnight Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Aye, I like the colors as well. They go perfectly together. Very good job Michael! "Now then, me bullies!

Mad Woman Cheryl Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Great work michaelsbagley! I am still working on gatherin info to change me outfit. I wuz wanting to get some opinions. Does anyone think it a good idea for makin and sellin "plus size" pirate shirts? These wouldn't be crisp and clean, more like working with cottons that are not 1st quality and weathered.

I think it's a fine idea, Cheryl. Certainly pirates come in all sizes, and personally, I would prefer the weathered looking shirts over a crisp clean one, any day. "Now then, me bullies!

Mad Woman Cheryl Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I work for a fabric company that has muslins and such. We always have seconds for a cheaper price which would be perfect for a worn or weathered look.....we also have osnaburg which I believe is also period. I know James Townsend gets their osnaburg from us. Mad Woman Cheryl By Odin's mighty spear, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!!"
Capt. Sterling Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Very nicely done... and if ye be changing yer colour scheme, I might just be helping myself to what ye be tossing...

Kenneth Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Very nice.....I like the Dark Navy color.....and Rumba! You always look awsome.. "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all"
callenish gunner Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 There's always a market for plus-sized shirts and slops and waistcoats and frock coats for that matter .... and good solid work shirts are a plus

Nathaniel Cross Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 My kit is a little more on the hollywood side. Especially with my bucket boots from caboots.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Well, lads, ye've done a fyne job of inspiring me down the slippery slope. I especially like Justacorps.

1stMate Matt Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Hey Rumba. I noticed that you didn’t have a graphical signature, but you had such great pictures from Tiger. So I went ahead and made you one. I can alter it or add to it if you don’t like it, but I think it turned out neat. <3  -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Â
