Description This is a design for my fiance's garb this season. He already owns the undershirt, pants, boots, and rapier, so all I'll be making is the short cape, doublet and hat. As you can see my notes on this design are very short.

We are still debating on what fabrics to use. The pants are gauze and the shirt is made of "moleskin" fabric (a very soft but light fabric that stays cool). He wants to use velvet for the 1/2 circle short cape, which i agree because that's what they are usually made from. As for the doublet, we haven't decided.

Looking at the slashing on the doublet I've decided to do...i'm a little scared of this project.

Once again I apologize for the bad quality of this picture. A scanner is currently unavailible to me so I have to rely on my camera for now.

I like the design. I was thinking that you might want to consider using wool. Denver has several nice ones right now and you would only need a couple of yards. [link] I think gabardine or crepe would work well. Plus wool is great for slashing and it doesn't really fray.

No problem. Plus wool breathes pretty well so if you get a light weight one he should be okay in the Bristol heat.
