...here are pictures of the buttoned hood. Hopefully I will have the time to make it into a proper page with documentation etc. some day next week.

That's lovely. What did you line it with?

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

Berry red habotai silk from denverfabrics.com. Cheap but still real silk. Ther eis a swedish 14th century will that mentions a blue (mans) hood lined with red silk so the color combination is documented.

That's downright lovely. It's quite stunning all opened up like that.

Pretty!

If you want some documentation of using the liripipe to tie around the head to keep the hood on if unbuttoned, I put up a picture from Roskilde cathedral in the Yahoo group Authentic_SCA (either in files or photo folders).

On a woman? Very interesting.

Have e-mailed it to you.

That's really cool. Did you make the buttonholes all by hand? I really like the way it looks unbuttoned, and the blue color suits you well.

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

Yes and I'm getting much better at it :)

Oooooh, pretty!

Whoa. The blue linen cote I just made this week is (partially) lined with a similar color silk. The color combination is almost exactly the same. :)

Hey, that's kind of cute! Is it warm?

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

I haven't tried it outside yet, but it felt warm the short periods I wore it indoors yesterday. It should be since both wool and silk keeps you warm.

-and BTW have you changed your LJ-style sheets to a turquoisy blue, or has my browser gone mad?!

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]
