Yay, fencing garb!

[desfontaines]

I should probably get up pictures of my finally-trimmed wool coat and little brother's Japanese-garb-for-Christmas, which also got finished over break. But I just got done with Jody's pants and shirt to go with the doublet I did a few months ago. Blah to Trigger shirt, but the linen one I tried to make over summer had problems with the underarm

I am completely in love with the color.

Does it look Crayola green on your screen? I think it'll be funny when Cynnabar fencers who are UofM students go against him, being MSU colors. ;)

[saltatoria]

No, it looks like more of a hunter green. Is it supposed to be Crayola green?

[desfontaines]

Yeah, I'm afraid it's very Crayola green. :) And bright, school-bus yellow lining.

Wow, I like it!

[desfontaines]

Thank you! Now we just need to find him a mask.

There are probably loaners at the Detroit group, and certainly ones at Cynnabar. All you'd need is a hood (they have loaner hoods, too, but they could be a bit icky, if ya'know what I mean...)

Looks great! :) Let me know when you're planning to go to a practice!

[desfontaines]

Keen. :) I'll pass that info on to him.

I can't believe I forgot the hood! Duh. Oh wait, he says he has an old one.

[desfontaines]

Yay - thanks!

Very nice!:-)

Definately dark hunter green. I think that Crayola green is also an EMU color, for what it's worth.

I need to come over to your house sometime soon to use your stuff. I'd promised Midair that I would make Grand Tourney belt favors for the dancers and other artsy folks to wear, as a "see, we help out at non-dance events" sort of indicator.

Sure thing! We can be around most evenings, although we plan on heading to Chicago on the Thursday before GT.
