Not only is _The Tudor Tailor_ a fascinating book, but the authors have since
put out two more books that might be of more help to the original poster--_The
King's Servants_ and _The Queen's Servants_, both of which cover early Tudor
period clothing (1485-1520) as worn by, well, servants to Their Majesties during
that time.  (Overall, the men's clothing runs a bit lower in terms of social
class than the women's, as while virtually all the ladies waiting on the queens
were gentlewomen if not actually noble, the same wasn't necessarily true of the
men; it's not at all hard, though, to figure out what a gentleman or nobleman
would have worn using the book.)   They're much shorter books than TTT, and
rather pricey (IIRC, my copy of _The Queen's Servants_ ran me around $42 on
Amazon), but IMO are very much worth it if you're interested in this particular
time period.  You can buy the books both on Amazon and at tudortailor.com; it
took my book about 5-6 weeks to get here.

Hope this helps,

Sure -- check out
http://larsdatter.com/applique.htm
There aren't many appliquéd banners, but there are a few (as well as other
heraldic bits done as appliqué).

The modern type of resist-painted silk is not the same technique as was used on
western European painted banners, anyway. ;-)  See
http://destrier.net/astonhall/article_medieval_painted_flags.20070501.pdf for
more information on painted banners (as well as other techniques used on
medieval banners).

For that particular heraldry, I'd recommend doing each element as a separate
embroidered element (so you can get the details right without having to piece
together all those little waves) and then applying it to a solid-colored ground
(that is, of course, split between two backgrounds really, the yellow and the
blue) -- assuming, of course, that you have a few embroiderers who might be
willing to work together on this.

There's even more information in "The Queen's Servants," newly published
by the same people as "The Tudor Tailor."  It's pricey for the size (56
pages and an average price of about $35 USD) but I got to look through
it and it's packed with useful information, including a few pattern
sketches--including headdress sketches.

The cheapest source for "The Queen's Servants" that I know of is
Potboiler Press (Googling will get you the URL quickly).  Good luck!

"Even imperfection itself may have its ideal or perfect state."
--Thomas de Quincey

As the SCA ages, RV camping has become more prevalent. Some folks have medical
needs or just plain shouldn't be sleeping on pallets in tents under adverse
conditions.

At the camping events I attend, motor vehicles of any kind are only allowed into
camp for unloading and unloading and should otherwise be kept in the designated
parking area. At larger events, there's usually an area designated for RVs to
pitch camp.

Before you go to the trouble/time/expense of upholstering the exterior of your
RV, what are the rules for RVs at the events you're likely to attend? I suspect
your time, skills and hobby money would be better spent on other things.

I am usually familiar with Pennsic rules, where trailers are accepted if
they are disguised. I've seen some nice houses done on trailers that make
me think it is doable, but you have to consider your materials.  I have a
dream of doing a house trailer at some point.  Since it doesn't have its
own engine, these trailers don't count as "motor" vehicles, so that may
fall outside of what you are considering.

It takes a lot of work, and it has almost always been a case of building a
new structure on a flat trailer rather than hiding an existing RV.  I also
don't know how many events it might be or not be feasible for.

Thanks, these look like fun.  I appreciate the direction. I think I may end up
simply packing a nice pavilion to set up with my Shire and wander back to the
parking lot for a night in comfort.

I wish I could turn my van into a gypsy wagon and drape something over the cab.
:)

But the RV is too big for that.  Not that I will be showing up at any events
with my big cloud anytime soon, very nearly the entire interior needs to be
gutted.  We bought it because the transmission alone is worth what we paid.  The
engine is good and the chasis is excellent.  But there are issues with the rest
of it such as: the bathroom needs IMO to be gutted and redone completely, the
entire cooking apparatus is a microwave and there are FIVE desks and no beds. 
This is a dream project and the interior is mine to imagine.

It is a huge rectangular shape on wheels, plain white and rather ugly but the
possibilities, ah, yes, the possibilities. :)

In that case, it might be better to focus on interior, rather than exterior
accuracy.  As other posters pointed out, its likely that you'd need to park
your RV in the parking lot, or in RV parking, so even if you made a cover
for it, the ambiance outside of the RV would be lacking.  But if you're
already looking at doing a gut-remodel, it might be worthwhile to do the
inside in as period a style as possible, so that once you go inside, you
seem to be inside a snug medieval house.  Sort of like how we often have
events at modern churches and schools, but do our best to decorate the
interiors to be less glaringly modern.

OH, that is an awesome idea!  Constantinople, 1000AD, Rule of Basil II,

interior so that hubby is happy with it too.  A challenge--neat!

Oh now that could be so much fun!  The one we use belongs to my brother so we
cant make those kind of changes but I will have to think of things that could be
done to make it more period inside that can be removed like bedding and window
coverings.  Thanks for the ideas

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hubby and I have been discussing and he wants to keep a large portion simply
open.  I think I could use a trunk of fabrics to drape inside to help with
period, I also think a lot of it will end up "rustic" which will fit right into
my own persona.  One of the cool things about Byzantine era is that they wore
their wealth more than lived with it.  Fabrics were everywhere, but the
furniture even in the Emperor's palaces was generally simple in design.  The
wealth showed more in the fabrics used in decorating so the simple trunk would
be more richly draped by the wealthy and more simply draped or not draped at all
by the average joe.

So just by hauling into the RV chairs and trunks like I'd put in a tent when
doing period, I'll get a quick transformation.

Ratiri, be sure to share what you find works well! :)

Dear
all,
 
I’m
pleased to announce that the knitted 16th century cap collection of
the Museum of
London is now online. The
73 caps, coifs, cap fragments, linings and earpieces have been newly
photographed, with captions containing contextual and technical information. All
the pieces will have their full captions in the next two weeks.
 
The
caps and their parts are of a large group of material excavated from sites
around London by
workmen in the early 20th century. They represent an insight into
everyday urban clothing and a high level of technical skill in their knitted,
fulled and napped construction. Caps of this style are in collections across
Europe and North America and are the focus of a
lot of research interest, so we are pleased to make a large group available to
the wider research community.
 
To
browse the caps, please go to the Collections
Online site and enter ‘cap’ in the Keyword field with the date range
1500-1600 in the search fields.
 
Many
thanks to all the researchers who have contributed to this project, especially
Jane Malcolm-Davies of The Tudor Tailor.

   I am currently undertaking a "Sample Persona" project for the Gold Key office
of the COB. I request your help in this endeavor. All too often I have newbies
who ask me, "Soo..persona/name..how do I start?".  I then try to figure out
their interests, and go from there.  But in a world as wide, both in time frame
and continent, not to mention religion or class status, I feel I can never give
any newbie any accurate details. Hence where you, the glorious populace comes
into play! I am asking that you please offer info about your personas.  I.E. 
What you are. Perhaps an 11th century viking male.  What is your name?  What
clothing did you wear?  What were your interests (this is all in persona mind
you}.  This information will all be compiled into a large binder in which i
would present to our newbies. {Of course they would not be taking your exact
persona, but your persona research would help them to grow} Of course I request
that the information be as accurate as possible {and as much as you all rock, I
know it will be}.  Be as detailed  as you wish!  All credit will be given to the
information provider (unless you wish to remain anonymous, just let me know} 
Feel free to respond to my regular e-mail jayzucat@....  Thanks to you all

Kaðlín of Harrowgate Heathh, though through recent scribal error I and
also known as Kaolin of Harrowsheath.

I was born in 467 and am of course 45 years old.

>      3}What land/continent?
Born 467 on the Isle of Jurra. The Isle of Jurra is part of the inner
Hibrides island. Much of the population is made up of settlers
(Scandanavian, Scots, Irish, and Pict) as as well a few survivors from
passing trade ships.
>      4} What did your persona do on a day-to-day basis? His/her interests?

Born to a landholder, Kaðlín was raised to take over the position when
her mother died. She was taught the arts of women by her mother, and the
craft of men by her father. She found herself less and less interested
in taking over the household, preferring the freedom of the sea and
land, so at the age of 16 Kaðlín set out on her own.

She begged, borrowed, and worked her way across the islands, dressed as
a man, until she reached the Islands of the Dal Riata. From there she
managed to find a position on a vessel headed for the mainland. During
the crossing a storm blew the ship off course, coming ashore in the
western lands of the Britons of Northumbria.

In a new land with little to her name, Kaðlín kept the guise of a man
and found work in local settlements using the skills she had learned
from her parents. She learned the language of the people and adopted
their manners and clothing. In time she worked her way to a small
village where she set herself up as a merchant, a craftsman, joined the
local militia, and became accepted as a free member of society.

*Enjoys:* Woodcarving, sewing, nalbinding, tablet weaving, cooking,
baking, woodworking, embroidery, animal husbandry, archery, fighting.
>      5}What is her/his social standing?

Merchant/ craftsman
>      6}Family?
Father - Konáll of Jurra
Mother - Ǽsa Bjőrnsdőttir
>      7}what clothing did he/she wear and what materials where they made out
of?
The tunic style of her mother, loose, long sleeves, with extra gores
added to the lower portion to make a flared skirt. Loose Braes like her
father that tie around the hips. Shoes are basic leather bog style
shoes. Clothing is made from linen and wool depending on the season.
Basic clothing in unadorned except for different colour trim of lnen.
Adorned clothing includes embroidery around the neckline, cuffs, and
hem. The pattern are mostly cultural patterns from her homeland/
mother's land.

Her mother's people wore a small seax to indicate freeborn status. Her
father people work the golden torq and bracelet. Kaolin wears them both
as a blending of her parents cultures.

    1}What is your persona's name?

Elias Gedney

    2}What time period is your persona from?
1590's 

    3}What land/continent?
14 South Quay, Greater Yarmouth, Norfolk, East Anglia, England

    4} What did your persona do on a day-to-day basis? His/her interests?


Captain of a "coaster" or small local shipper, principally moving cargo (mainly
bales of Anglian worsteds and quite a LOT of salt herring) along the east coast
of England and the Low countries, with occasional forays into France to pick up
soap, salt and dyestuffs.
Ship is a 47 tonne Leeboard lugger of Dutch make purchased from the town as
salvage after it went badly aground in 1590 on the sandy shoals in the south of
the harbor. (the town was raising money to dredge the harbor, so they thought it
just)


Personally Elias enjoys Fairs, watching and wagering on wrestling and bear
baiting, and some Archery as every patriotic Englishman ought. 
... and making money off the Scots who come every October/November for the
Yarmouth Herring Fair. 
Also enjoys drinking and reminiscing with other veterans of Gravelines from
Seymour's squadron from the Spanish Armada fight.   

    5}What is her/his social standing?
Freeman of the town, one of the "town fathers" and have served two terms in the
Town council. 
Squarely middle class. was somewhat over leveraged and owing money, but married
into enough money to put the debt collectors behind him. 
Still works with them to finance his own occasional ventures and has a good
reputation, but most of his business is per contract. 

    6}Family?
Second son in a family of Liveried Drapers in Norwich, married late in life to a
Norse woman, daughter of a factor and business contact in the "Steelyard"  
Several daughters in several foreign ports from a dissolute youth working as a
factor for Father's Wool business. 
Probably the reason that he is  no longer working for my Father. This was long
before he started his own business as a Coasterman.  

    7}what clothing did he/she wear and what materials where they made out of?
ashore, Doublets and Venetians and linen shirts and other Middle Class
Elizabethan clothing. 
a sea, Canvas doublets linen shirts, and canvas slops. Tightly woven Worsted
cloak against the weather.

Alternately, if you are not searching just for those knit caps, you can search
from the front page of the site:
http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/
Click on the "Search Collections On-line" button and type what you're looking
for into the search box in upper right hand corner of the page.

Or, alternately, click on "Site Map" at the bottom of the page. Then on the Site
Map Page, click on "Collections On-line", which is in the third Red box down on
the left.

Either of these will allow you to look for things other than those knit caps.
