blackjohn Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Here is a picture of me in a new outfit.... It is mostly historical stuff, although there are a few comprimises (like the bucket boots). Most of this outfit is machine sewn as I was trying to rush to get it done, although the pants and shirt are both hand sewn (despite the fact they are barely visible in this photo). Edit - I changed the photo, as the other photo better shows off the hand made sword belt that I made, as well as other elements in the outfit are better shown. Dude! That rocks! Nice job! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBarbossa Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Don't mean to double post here... but FINALLY got this one finished. My new waistcoat... ...with french seams to be reversable. Tis a bit more on the Hollywood/Fictional/Legend side rather than purely historically authentic, but that's ok. I'll eventually make a historically authentic one... someday. One down, several more to go! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

It's a gorgeous pattern. That's a great looking vest/waistcoat. I'd be proud to wear something like that around a festival. I'm kind of a bit jealous just thinking about it. Very well done Lady B!

Rats Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Very sharp dear Anna! There's something about a girl who not only wears a choker, but also woodland ears! I also love seeing more red being worn! Though I'm sure most are reluctant because of the military image.... Still, I'm glad to see it being worn with personal style!! JMHO! No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky Actress Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Lady B! Love the new waistcoat. I have to be honest, I have a 1880s bustle dress that uses the same fabric. It's very rich looking, that's for sure! Can't wait to see you wear it! Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBE I'll have it ready for a Winter Invasion. Aye, Rats. I was going for a more blood color with black, evil type of pirate look.

HildeKitten Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Thanks Lady B :) I love it so much that I want one for every season haha :) That one is quite heavy and warm, but I want one for winter when it's _really_ warm :) I've got this linen one for warmer weather And I'm in the process of making myself a very light cotton one. You know, just in case we ever have a summer again in Western Europe In any case, can't have too many coats, I'm sure my wardrobe will be plundered on talk like a pirate day soon House of Secrets Incorporated Fashion and costume design For all your piracy needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Jon Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Here is a light wool coat we started putting together today, kind of "a la Capt Morgan". Not historically correct and doesn't match the rest of my kit but I thought it would be nice to have a warmer piece just in case. Probably wont get much use for it here in Florida anyway.

michaelsbagley Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Okay, here is a picture of me in my newest set of garb.... From bottom to top. Still no proper shoes.... A pair of Linsey-Woolsey knee socks from Hamilton Dry Goods A pair of knee breeches made using RH706 (RH=Reconstructing History) and based heavily on the Royal Navy Slop Contract specs. Strip’d Ticken Breeches of proper lengthes, lined with white linen, and two linen Pockets, with Sixteen Black Buttons, the Button Holes stich’d with Black Thread, at the rate of five Shillings each A shirt made using the RH 713 A grey worsted wool short waistcoat made using the RH704 pattern. A Leather sword belt based somewhat on Patrick Hands work, and partly on an image from "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution". Everything is completely hand sewn by me with the exception of the socks and the hat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Nicely done!

Gentleman of Fortune Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Mike Bageley WOW! Man that looks great! One think that is hard to "capture" is the close fitting-ness of period clothes, especially Justaucorps. Short jackets seem to be a mix of close fitting and baggy. I really like the look you got with yours... I had trouble with the arms with mine (I used my own pattern), but I think that you got it spot on. Zeph Nash had a great idea of "converting" modern shoes to more of a latchet style as an interim until correct shoes could be bought and that might serve you in the short term as well. The last thing i'd say is find a neckerchief.... Well almost the last thing. Please get outside and take another picture. I'd love to use it on my website!

michaelsbagley Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Thanks for the compliments Sterling, GoF, and Lady B! I have already started working on a neckerchief to finish the outfit, and hope to be done that either tonight or tomorrow... Make that tomorrow, tonight is my lady's B-Day, so I should be busy with that.... Ya know GoF, I was going to have that photo taken outside in the back yard in front of the pond, Jessica (the better half) even offered and suggested it, but I was feeling too lazy... Maybe when I finish the neckerchief I will get it all together and have the picture taken outside. I have been watching Zeph Nash's thread for the converting modern shoes, and I have an older pair of dress shoes that have pretty much had their day that I could probably convert.... Maybe I will give that a go as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Everytime I wear this outfit, I constantly get people stopping me, (even riding my scooter with Dead Fred) for my picture. **Note: The black you see on the bodice is black leather. It's the best one I've ever made and has held up for years. The hat was bought at a thrift store for 5 dollars (it has a Nordstrom label in it) and decorated it myself. The skirt is a black table cloth and the burgandy bottom is part of a bed ruffle, all from the thrift store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Great outfit Rumba! I like the diamond pattern of the bodice. It has a nice colour and pattern to it. And "Dead Fred" makes a brillaint accessory to the whole getup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Okay, here is another picture of my new set of garb... I've added the final touch of a linen neckerchief (nice brick red one at that), and had the picture taken outside in a slightly more natural background than in front of my entertainment stand. The shoes are just modern leather dress shoes... They are the ones I am contemplating cutting into periodish shoes. Some more pics of the same thing in my Flickr site.

Abrams Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Michael, you're amazing. It's great to see a departure from the all-to displayed wide and frayed slops! I'd try and find some cheap thrift store shoes to mod first, just to get the right feel of what you want to do. I've got the heart of a pirate, just not the garb...
