Gentleman of Fortune Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 OK... maybe I should try Pat Hands new system. Or for all you who think I am just a nay sayer here is your chance to strike back..... I saw this listed at another forum, but I think it is a good price for what it is (the other forum is http://frontierfolk.net/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/index.php ) The description is Brown Irish Linen sleeveless waistcoat lined in natural linen with tarnished pewter buttons. Size 40-42”. 100% hand-sewn with linen thread. This waistcoat has a nice patina that is 100% honest wear. There are more detailed photos here http://photobucket.com/albums/v189/waltei/...i/Sale%20Items/ He is asking $120 I would PAT RATE this as a 4/4 I can't tell the quality of workmanship as I can't handle it, but it seems to be very well made and of appropriate materials. I give it 4 authenticity stars as I believe that this coat cut and style place it a little past the GAoP. If it had more buttons down the front, it might get a 4.5. His email is (REPLACE *AT* with @) waltei*AT*btsd.k12.wi.us It reminds me of this photo from Foxe's site Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
kass Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Very nice. It looks like the edges of the armscyes are prick stitched too. Nice touch... Lovely piece. If I didn't make 'em, I'd buy it! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
Ace of Harbor Bay Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Hmmm, looks like it might even be dirty enough to suit my fancy. But I'm not a fan of the rust color is all. I do like the lived in look. www.pirate4hire.com Pirates of Harbor Bay
