There's the one I've got, from the effigy in Salisbury (dated 1380...at
least, that's when the gentleman in question died). Of course, that's on a
gentleman's cote, and not a lady's. Still, quite definitely side-laced. If

Well, I've spoken to the man I'm sewing this cotehardie for, and he really
doesn't want a front lacing. The back lacing is, I see, not very good choice to
take either, if it's not sure whether it's period or not. Do you think I could
do with some hidden fastening on the side? If side lacing

Nothing to see here. Carry on.

Oh my. A quick search just turned up a page about this from a weblog by
Will McLean. I know him -- he's an armorer on the East Coast (formerly
SCA, now with Belle Compagnie) and does top-flight work, so I trust his
eye.

Hi,
Several years ago I found a picture on the internet that I really liked.

And several years ago I bought a very nice blue silk.
I was wondering if red wool felt and gold cord would work for the
embroidery.
Ah yes! I've seen this portrait before. My first question, as
always, is what did they do at the time? Embroidery I will admit is
not my strongest suit and perhaps I am conjuring up the wrong mental
picture of what you mean by wool felt. But my gut reaction is no,
not wool.
In part it is
Most likely, I am thinking appliques of red velvet,
outlined with cord. Wool felt might work, but won't
look as rich as the velvet would.
Good luck, and I would love to see pictures when you
are done.

A quick look at JA's PoF, where an appliqué on silk was done it was
silk, except for the one doublet with leather applique stitched with
silk thread.
I also think that while the wool would work, it would look better with
velvet or silk

There is a larger picture online somewhere that shows the red to be
embroidery, probably silk thread. But if you are asking about cutting back
on the embroidery by appliquing wool felt where there is red, I would
recommend a velvet or silk. Not sure they would have appliqued wool on to
