Re: [h-cost] Portrait of a Soldier

Hi Kathy, It sounds like your listing of garments is about right, although I call a waistcoat a doublet. I am not as familiar with the Italian styles, but I have done a few men's 16th c. garments in the past few years, English and German (who so loved those cuttes and slashes). You may get mor

The red material is either red suede leather or velvet. The sleeves could be box pleated but the left forearm and the right cuff make me lean towards slashes and that the bands are non - applied bands but of the same sleeve material with embroidery to stop the slashes. Basically, one solid sleeve w

Historical Costume in Detail has a doublet from about 1625-1630 that is leather with embroidery. Melusine I can think of lots of gloves and a few shoes that were leather with gold or polychrome embroidery. Bridgette / Mari Can someone refresh my memory--embroidery on soft leather--ex

Re: [h-cost] Portrait of a Soldier

I wonder if that red material was a very find brushed or sueded leather. Leather breeches and jerkins were not unusual and of the few extant examples I've seen some were buttery soft and had a slight nap. That would certainly make the slashes easier--wouldn't have to finish any edges. Of cours

Re: [h-cost] Portrait of a Soldier

To me, the sleeves look like they are a velvet or fine wool that has been slashed, then trim applied as horizontal bands separating the slashed sections. To get them to stand out, you cut the 'fashion fabric' slightly longer than the lining and then tack the horizontal bands to the lining and let t
