Todd's Studio and Pizza
Not much to say.. Just trying to get my mind wrapped around creating a coat I've never made before.. The fear of failure is powerful. Even for someone who's been doing this for a long while. It took me 4 years to build up my courage to do my first horse, back in the mid 80s

Captain John Lovewell - He Gets a Tricorne Hat
The tricorne or tricorn is a style of hat that was popular during the 18th century, falling out of style by 1800. At the peak of its popularity, the tricorne was worn as civilian dress and as part of military and naval uniforms. Its distinguishing characteristic was a practical one: the turned-up portions of the brim formed gutters that directed rainwater away from the wearer's face, depositing most of it over his shoulders. Before the invention of specialized rain gear, this was a distinct advantage.
The tricornes had a rather broad brim, pinned up on either side of the head and at the back, producing a triangular shape. The hat was typically worn with the point facing forward, though it was not at all unusual for soldiers, who would often rest a rifle or musket on their right shoulder, to wear the tricorne pointed to the left to allow better clearance.
