Rumba Rue Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 When I was at the Arizona Ren-faire over the past weekend, there was a place called Eden Naturals/Boss Wench that had really great coats for $175.00. I almost bought one. Well done with fancy trims. Their address is: 560 Rutland Ave, San Jose, CA. 95128, phone: 408-287-2417 Rumba Rue **My job is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Elaina Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 are all the coats made of velvet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julius27 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I'll answer the last question, as it's more or less a fambly venture. All the ones a'ready made be of velvet. Made ta order coats could be any material ye like. The ones on ebay be upholstery weight velvet with a muslin linin'. Mine's about three years old, been in rain an' it's held up nicely. O' course, as pretty as it is, I don' wanna be wearin' me baldric o'er it, but then, boardin' actions should na' be taken while wearin' yer best garb. As ta Boss Wench (nice booth they got in Arizona), yer right about 'em bein' nice, Rumba. They be a bit light-weight fer me, though. I chill whene'er the temp goes below 60.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 As ta Boss Wench (nice booth they got in Arizona), yer right about 'em bein' nice, Rumba. They be a bit light-weight fer me, though. I chill whene'er the temp goes below 60. Â Â Arrrgh, I think they be light-weighted here (Arizona) since the temp this weekend is suppose to be in the high 90's. Yer coats be beautiful, but alas velvet will not work for me as I be visitin the faires in the southwest where it be above the 60's - 90% of the time. I keep wonderin if I'm light in the head for wantin to wear pyrate garb in the high desert. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind.

John_Young Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Not criticisin yer work... it looks lovely, but is velvet for a coat period? I have a lot of period nazis and they love to speak up when I step out of line... makes getting me garb difficult...

Atala Syrcuse Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Whether velvet is period or not depends on the period ye reffer'n to. If'n the fair ye be at is 17th century (1600) or later, they should'n be given ye no grief . Drink Up Me Harties Yo Ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Alot of folks I've seen workin' faires wear velvet, but it's all depending on class. Pirates being pirates have no soical class, so they can wear what every they want. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julius27 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Yes, velvet be period fer the upper class an' wealthy middle class as far back as the 15th century. As has been mentioned, pirates got their pick o' whatever be on board a prize, so it ain't outta line fer a "gentleman o' fortune" ta wear velvet. Me personal experience with self-styled "period police" be that they know less than they'd like everone ta think they do. The point of a faire bein' ta entertain with a historical feel, I think that goin' all out on historical accuracy be a bit, well, compulsive ta put it politely. The fair I work is 16th century, so my coat is way ahead o' the styles, but I ain't e'er heard no guff about it from patrons or faire management. When the "period experts" come around ta lecture me, I just nod politely an' find payin' customers that need help. I love workin' a booth. I am Julius Aurelius, future ruler of the universe.
