Spanish Garb?

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Any ideas where to find "Spanish" styled garb?

We are always looking for a few good Cabellaros Templarios




Sorry folks...couldn't resist.

That is a pretty darn good job with that Lady K...

Well, he would probably be the most weaponized child at any faire. Here's what he has:

1. A Spanish rapier
2. A Italian stiletto
3. A 14th century crossbow

I have been looking for a Gothic mace and I found this one craftsman who makes outstanding reproduction weapons:

We might pick one of the daggers too. I did find some new photos of my nephew's Italian bonnet today on Lady Kathleen's project files. I love it. I turned out great. One of the comments my nephew made was that from a distance, the fabric on his new doublet looks like the "digital camouflage" that our soldiers wear today.

Lady Kathleen sent these images of the pained slops. She still has a few minor changes to make, but they are pretty well finished. I think they're great.

This is what Ron -Sir Dragon- came up with

Lady G!!!

Very lovely!! 

I have that same fabric, French Quarter by Waverly. I did a Doublet for a client back in 2005 for his wedding. Then I made a forepart to pin on with an existing underskirt to wear with my Mary, Queen of Scots gown. Then a Doublet for Lady Renee Buchannan's husband. What I have left, will be a reverse side for a tabbed Corset I am set to do this coming spring.

       Well, I received my nephew's new suit several days ago. The craft manship is absolutely superb. There is no comparison to his first suit made last year by someone else to this one. She made just the right size, left plenty of room for growth. Unfortunately I was laid up over the weekend, the steroids have kicked in and I'm finally back up walking without have to lean on the walls. So, this weekend he'll get to come over with his mother and try it on and make any adjustments. Lady Kathleen's work has been so impressive and professional, she even bagged up 3-4 pieces of the accessory items (buttons, brass tips, ect.) in a separate container in case of any future losses or mishaps....boys will be boys.

      We highly advise any future garbers looking for truly functional pieces of artwork that will be made to your expectations and style to contact her first for a quote. The work that she did on his doublet and paned slops was worth twice as much as what she charged us.

Finally found the one last item to compliment Lady Kathleen's newest design. I had been looking for some time for a set of "Chains of Office" for my nephew. I had been looking at some of the pieces from over at Sapphire & Sage and they have some very beautiful work there for Renaissance era reproductions.....but, I still was undecided. Last week I found this piece on eBay from a estate sale out of Suffolk, England and fell in love with it. After a small bidding war during the last few seconds (always use some type of bid sniping program.....) we got it at a excellent price. I thought that it was very unique and would look great with his new Spanish doublet.

What say the crowd?

You have the eye, Friar Rohn, for the unique!!!  That is going to go terrificly well with Alexei's new Doublet.

Thank you for the kudos. 

[Joyce "Delfinia DuSwallow" Howard]

It looks perfect to me Friar Rohn.

[Friar Rohn the Chronicler]

Finally got some time off to take a few preliminary photos of my nephew's new togs.

You can't beat the craftmanship done by Lady Kathleen of Omsted.



My favorite photo for some reason (he plays way too much Halo on his XBox).

Friar!!!!  Alexei looks so handsome!! Very Spanish indeed!!

On a sunny day, the colors on the Doublet fabric will jump out. I will get him another Bonnet made!! No Worries!!!

[Manwariel]

Very nice. He looks quite dashing. Now if he were about six years older...kidding, kidding 

[LadyDracolich]

Very handsome and dashing!
