Mantello Research

[peteyfrogboy]

In an attempt to get my sewing mojo flowing again, I'm going to make myself a mantello for Lusty. I wanted to make it out of wool, but I accidentally shipped my wool to the wrong address and I'll probably never see it. *sigh* I'll just make it out of the red linen from Pennsic instead, which should be nice and cool. At any rate, here are some relevant images:

Collar shape, sleeve attachment
Over a doublet
1465 drape
Sleeveless, with slits, etc. (late-ish)
Sleeves, belt w/mounts, layers (1480s)
Shorter Lengths
With belt, drape, collar (also here)
Buttons on collar (also here)
