The seconded site allows you to enlarge. http://gambesons.com/design/aad It appears to be cream base with gold pattern with a red outline. The flat buttons are approx. at the level of a belt and possibly the neck button is at a gorget level.
-----Original Message----- I wasn't very clear in my request. I have the sewing pattern. The pattern I was refereeing to was the fabric pattern, the colors in the photos are better than what I have. But usually on something this old, the colors now are not what they would have originally been. As to the buttons, if they were reversed, I might offer the idea that he might wear some sort of armor on top of it - the flat buttons being more comfortable than the round...but I have not a clue otherwise.

The ones from about the waist to the bottom of the pourpoint are flat like the one at the top. I can't imagine why they're like that. > > Kate _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
