| Another suit of the mid 17th century. This gentleman was 'commanding officer' of the Royalist 'Sir Thomas Tyldesley's Regt.' of the English Civil War Society. This suit consists of a doublet and cloak bag breeches in rifle green wool (again showing up as black - curses to modern technology!!!), and a shot silk officer's sash in red and black. Both the doublet and breeches are once again based on separate patterns from surviving garments. The doublet has tabs (hidden by the sash), shoulder wings, and slit sleeves. It is trimmed with black worsted braid (unfortunately invisible in the picture), in a chevron pattern, at the tabs, sleeve slits, and shoulder wings. The breeches are also trimmed with the back worsted braid. |

| The sash is 100% handwoven silk, in red shot with black. Once again the suit is fully lined and interlined, and the wool is by Hainsworth, and the buttons by Christophus. |
