Re: [h-cost] What's on the horizon
But wouldn't it have been just as easy to actually make the clothes? Maybe they should try some Erte designsI believe quite a few of his designs were never made.

[h-cost] lining in tricorn hats.
I want to put a lining in a tricorn hat. It will have a drawstring to help with sizing. Has anyone seen an original to know if the linen lining should be natural colour or white? Charlene Roberts ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] lining in tricorn hats.
Natural would be most likely and cheaper back in those days; but if it was for a gentleman or a high ranking officer, the lining would be white, silk that is.

Re: [h-cost] lining in tricorn hats.
I have seen unbleached fabric lining. I do recall a British navy regulation of the 1790s calling for white silk lining for officer ranks. In reality, as time went on and silk went up in price, any suitable white fabric was acceptable. This really screws things up as my only navy bicorn dated to the early 1800s has bare remnants of a dark silk lining and a tiny bit of white cloth that may have been a name tag. Remember if you do use white our modern whites are not the same, there were no fluro dyes and rinses back in ye good old days before the invention of the flush dunny, -C.
