The new book, "The Tudor Tailor" has a line drawing of almost exactly what you want, on page 63. You would just have to make the hanging sleeves. ************** I don't see any breeches on page 63. I thought her dilemma was she cannot find a pictorial reference to a doublet with long skirts worn with "breeches"....by which I think she means Venetians. There is a rendering of a man in a skirted doublet [one looks like a jerkin] with paned hosen that come to just above the knee on pages 11, 15 and 19. The paintings these details are from are "The Fete at Bermondsey" by Joris Hoefnagel c1570 [page 11] "The Embarkation at Dover" in the Royal Collection [page 15] and "The Field of the Cloth of Gold", also in the Royal Collection [Page 19] The whole paintings [I think] are on the "Contents" page....but get your magnifying glass out. But that's the problem isn't it? Most renderings of a doublet with Venetians are of the later short doublet with tassets. And again, these men all appear to be servants of some kind holding arms or something. But some are just dancing or socializing so you cannot really tell. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
