total side note and derailment but why does every one in that pic have on sneakers? sorry not meant to derail but its so glaring.

Adric13

Went priority mail so I will be shocked if they are not there by then.

Adric13

Thanks - I was doing a cut and paste when I noticed someone beat me to it.

75 in should fit normal world xxl sizing I think?!

And time frame wise they should be here in about 3 weeks.

Adric13

Nope. These round is the mid size pipe. Long pipes are in the works but this time around it's the pipe in the pic above.

Adric13

Yep. And 4 of the 5 of yours are in the mail currently - I ran out of brown and am waiting for it to arrive to send out the other one. The only stuff not shipped is dye I'm waiting on which should be here soon.

go buy a pattern for a pair of shorts but make them huge. the rus pants i sell have an 80 in waist and my little wife wears them for belly dance pants. fat guys wear em to fight in so with a draw string they will fit just about anyone. you want to draw up the part below your knee and stitch it down ...

How colour-fast is the dye? Does it need any special care once it's done and is it safe if I get caught in the rain with my really nice linen tunic on? Thanks, GdS usually very. every thing is double rinsed to cut down on bleed. Its still suggested that you wash before you wear when it gets to you ...

Last call! I have had a number of PMs about needing to wait till payday around the first so this is a sale hold over but stuff is being shipped to me on Monday or Tuesday so I will have it for GW. If you want in send it in soon... Surcoats - 100% linen, all french seams, all hand dyed, blah, blah, b...

Adric13

Very interested in perhaps the four pack based on the following question... Can we be annoying and ask for one colour for the outer layer and a different colour for the inner layer? NO - they all start out off white and get dyed as a finished product so the inside is the same as the outside. I woul...

more...

Adric13

they want paid so i'm sending it in - several have wanted in but needed to hold off till pay day, tax return etc. so i'm going to let this ride for a few more days to close out Feb and kick off Mar but if you want in get it in and thanks! stuff will be shipping to me soon. ==========================...

interesting surface finish.

Adric13

working on it - we are trying to buy a half roll of linen - which is proving to be fun. its in process but it will happen soon - im trying to get these in before GW if the planets align

Adric13

Does anyone sell a liner with an integral cloth aventail (cloth drape below the helm and over the neck area)? (And yes I know aventail is generally used to refer to the maille attached to the bascinet but I can't think of a better term) we are working on one in linen stuffed with tow or cotton depe...

Cisco stopped by to pick up the sample surcoat as it was his old damaged one that was used as a pattern - so i replaced it - he wanted blue. heres front and back pics in cobalt. hes wearing a dark green tuinc under it.

ok quick hood Q - how long on the pipe part and split front or solid like the current sample one??? i have been looking at art and stuff for an hour now and split seems to be about as common as stitched. personally i think it would be cool to just have a button hole under the chin and have a really ...

Adric13

What colors will be available? I would really dig a hood (w/ Long Liripipe) in a deep burgundy/blood red if possible . . . burgundy* must be burned!!!! its a witch!!!!!!! red OTOH - not so bad! ok looks like i need to geta long hood patterned too * i spent 7 dye loads trying to get the burgundy to ...

Adric13

What are the lengths on the surcoats? Also, have you thought about slitting up the sides as well as the front? As for double-weight, you wouldn't have to quilt it. As long they're hemmed on all edges, you'll be fine. just dyed it blue and its drying but i'll put a tape on it and see. this is a big ...

Adric13

Conversely, I think you should add a hood with no tail at all for us early period types. Everything looks great! this was kinda my version of broad brush - the pipe is there but not too long - its still not an early period one but gimme time and ill work it out as for a long one ill have to see wha...

same color options i assume?

ok pics coming up now-ish and yea if dharma makes a dye im willing to give a go - so far only the burgendy has proven to be a nightmare.

Adric13

OK the short tunics are half here and the rest are one the way - what can go out is being dyed up in the next couple days and going out. What also came with this order is samples for new stuff. Like hoods and surcoats. I will get pics up as soon as i can find my head and get it screwed back on strai...

Adric13

The shipping will start as soon as I can dye and ship. Ups tracking says out for delivery - so they hit my door some time today. Historically it's late afternoon so I should be able to get stuff turned around to y'all tomorrow in some cases. Thanks!
