Looking forward to it!
A Glass of Wine with Caesar Borgia (1893) by John Collier. From left: Cesare Borgia, Lucrezia Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, and a young man holding an empty glass. The painting represents the popular view of the treacherous nature of the Borgias—the implication being that the young man cannot be sure that the wine is not poisoned.
It shaped his legacy as one of the most ambitious and controversial figures of his era.

A honey colored leather strip on top of a wine colored leather. There are 1/4 inch heart shaped punches in the honey colored leather allowing the wine color underneath to show through.
Just a quick test of how the pinking will look with the different colored leathers overlayed on each other. #WineAndHoneyDoubłet, #cosplay, #HistoricalTailoring, #RenaissanceHistory, #sewing
Picture of a men's padded and embroidered doublet in the Stibbert Museum (http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/stibbert_museum.html#) The doublet is in a cream colored leather with a raised waist level and pointed front, there are 14 skirt tabs and embroidery on the stomach area.
Picture of a man in a doublet based on the Stibbert Museum Jerkin. The doublet is tan with vertical trims in brown and red. It is "slashed" in an "X" pattern with a teal blue wool underlining showing through the slashes. The man is wearing matching Venetian style breeches, in the same fabrics with red cuffs at the knee.
1) So, now that the Stibbert Museum Doublet inspired German Patrician outfit is finished, you might (or might not) be wondering, what's Tom up to now? ( #sewing, #cosplay, #HistoricalTailoring, #RenaissanceHistory)
