Cloak Deco

[hsifeng]

Not that I am to this point yet... but I should have the pattern done this weekend and be well on my way to thinking-trimmy-thoughts. So I am going to gather a few items here for reference.


Stephan Praun's Pilgrim's Cloak, 1571: Piped and slashed trim at collar and 'frogs' for button closures...


Albrect Durer sketch: Knotted detail on hanging ends...


Albrecht Durer, 'Two Musicians' (1504): Narrow double band of trim - common treatment...

I really like the double band of trim myself. I did that on one of my gollars. (and promptly shrunk it when after getting drenched I put it in the drier on low. How the hell did I miss the prewash on that bit of wool?!?! *Cries*)

I wouldn't be surprised if that "trim" was actually integral to the collar. Handstitching changes everything.
