Ok, a few pictures!

My progress,such as it is, of the base layer. I stitched the netting directly to the inner lining, as the last pair I made required constant adjustment, which I would only notice AFTER m'lord had everything on!



Here is a gratutious shot of m'lord modeling the blue doublet. Apparently his silliness gets in the way of showing the detail. He is wearing it with a kilt I attempted, so much is covered!



And here we have the doublet with a shot of the fabric that will become trim for the panes.



A closer shot, so the colours are clearer



And one with the Chartreuse

So....anyone have a "rule of thumb" to help decide how wide the panes should be? I am currently considering about 3 inches...m'lord's existing pair have panes that are 4 inches wide, and while the thought of trimming a few less panes is attractive..... The Tudor Tailor suggests 4 inches as well, but I find them wide.
