Surcoat - white hart detail
Surcoat with white hart device.
Surcote made in handwoven silk and fully lined in linen, with a woollen white
hart appliquéd to the back and front (details on the hart are picked out in black,
although this is hard to see in the picture!)
A dark green surcote with white chevron, again, in
handwoven silk, and fully lined in linen.
(Sorry the picture's in black and white - will hopefully be able to get a
colour one soon!!!)

Apologies for the poor photograph.
Maker's mark
Two pictures of a linen surcote, in
blue with a yellow bend dexter
(right bend).

Six full sets of clothing were made
for English Heritage.

Blue and white linen surcoat
A selection of surcoats.

On the extreme left is one in white linen, with three
green parrots.

Second from the left is a surcoat that somebody else
made, but to which I added the red appliqué lions to
front and back.

Second from the right is a red and black quartered
surcoat with white fleurs de lys in each quarter (also
seen below left - and
click here to see a gambeson I
made in the same colours for the same client).

On the extreme right is a surcoat made in the colours of
one of the Earls of Warwick.  A red ground, with a
yellow bar and six crossed crosslets (again, also seen
below, on the right, as a back view).
