A nice wool works.

Unfortionally I don't have a good picture of it.

made, at least in part, of suede and/or leather.
It could be velvet or another piled fabric, or really, really nice wool
(given that this fellow isn't an aristocrat), OR leather. Think you'd have
to experiment with drape and whatnot....

Subject: [h-cost] Greetings and question about a painting
Greetings!
I am new to the list. I have a BFA in a theater from the University of
Georgia (US) in both performance and costume design. I went on into
computer science, but have continued costuming, mostly in community
theater settings.
I have a question about the fabric/material used in the Beham "Portrait
of a Man", German/Bavarian, 1529. My original guess was a velvet, but
looking closer at the image, especially the cut-work in the trim and
collar, I have begun wondering if this was a suede of some kind. I am
curious as to what fabrics would be likely.
