Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 As some may know, I have been in love with Francois Desportes outfit in his 1699 self portrait. I finally saved up enough to have a kit based on his made for me (don't sew much myself). I received my wool late 1600s style justaucorps and just today received my sleeved waistcoat. I have to say, both pieces are just amazing!!!!!!! Next up, I receive the breeches (note the pocket on the thigh) and a small buff civilian style sword belt. Check it out!
theM.A.dDogge Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 well done indeed.....now suppose everytime your spotted at an event...it will be in this same posed repose!!
Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 Gonna have to get some dead animals and a couple emaciated adoring dogs, but yes, i just may sit around like this all the time.

It looks very well done so far .....a pair of rescued greyhounds would do for the curs Since I live in Florida, I did an interpretation of the outfit. Instead of velvet or silk for the waistcoat and breeches, I went with linen. The justaucorps is a light wool.
LadyBarbossa Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Tis very nice. I'm sure ye'll be mighty handsome in th' outfit. :) ~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!
Rumba Rue Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Well done indeed! Curious, who made the outfit? Just the perfect thing in that 80 degree humid weather that's in Florida for most of the year.
j8ksdad Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 very nice! I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.
Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 Steve at Blue Box Sutlery is the bomb - I've been keeping him a secret so that he could make my stuff! He is awesome though. Can't go wrong.
