A noble garment for the sportier courtier a proper embroidered fencing doublet has been in planning for some time now.

Inspired by the portrait of Eleanora de Toledo by artist Bronzino this partlet features gold soutache, freshwater pearls, and linen voile.

After I decided to purchase my plate armor that would include a burgonet helmet I knew I would need a new arming cap.

After researching popular types of hats I settled on this style of brimmed Cappello featuring a pleated crown and, trim, and feathers.

After trying to find a reasonably priced curule or dantesca chair it was time to take on another project.

Nearing the end of the 16th century ruffs became so large that the heavy starching was not enough to support them. The creation of a rigid supportasse helped to support the garment and was fashionable for a few years. Gradually the supportasse was not worn and the ruff was allowed to naturally fall onto the shoulders and eventually was simplified further into the collare.

Perhaps one of the most essential pieces of clothing for any wardrobe, the camicia.

One of my earlier projects was a vestito fiorentino in the colore vino, or wine.
