If 3 people hit the site the bandwidth is exceeded. Don't you have an archive account?

Ok
Well Chuck I got your arming coat images off the site before the bandwidth gave out again. I cleaned them up and cropped them for more detail.
Since Chuck didn't mention it I will say his mother who used to do upholstery work made this for him. She even hand sewed the quilting. It is am amazing garment:
