| This is a 1640s gentleman's, or officer's suit (it is smack bang in the middle of the 17th century English Civil Wars). The suit is based on a pattern which appears in 'The Cut of Men's Clothes', by Norah Waugh, (obviously, somewhat adjusted to fit a modern person). The suit is made in 'lagonda' green wool, made by Abimelech Hainsworth, of Yorkshire, and it is lined throughout in off-white linen. The slashes in the body, and the openings in the sleeves, are backed with dark red silk satin, and the suit is trimmed with a double row of dark red silk braid. The buttons are hand cast pewter, by Christophus. |
