Shirt, Doublet, Hose (more serious...)
In the past two weeks I did also finish three toiles (shirt, hose, doublet) and the 'real' linen shirt. A few pictures:
Toile for shirt
The real thing, in Irish linen
A bit of simple running-stitch embroidery
at neckline and other stress points
for beauty and reinforcement
Doublet on the stand - I was pretty pleased with it!
Back view of James in entire outfit.
Only one sleeve - these are just pinned on
for the fitting
Front view - jacket a bit too long,
but the rest fit well!
Oops - will have to add a bit to those canions (lower leg).
That's what fittings are for!
