I hate Wolsey with a passion, almost went "YESSS!" when he got the sweating disease. I'm up to episode seven now, the whole of London is ill. I just wonder what the sweating disease is...I vote for the Spanish flu.
Don't think I have actually seen the jerk-off scene yet. I guess this is why I have a dread fascination with the series. You were so happy when you got the dvd for X-mas!
I think the French hood will be fine, just keep the trimmings plain and the fabrics relatively common, like linen and wool and you will be fine. That coif looks quite comfy actually.
As to 'The Tudors' well... Not seen it yet, but speaking as a larping Brit I've seen the US mangle and manipulate our history since Hollywood started. What any classic Errol Flynn movie or maybe Ivanhoe and the medieval babes will have nice pointy bras under their gowns and cinched in waists. Apparently the beloved Pirate shirt, that staple of larping wardrobes is a Hollywood invention. I'm used to it, and most of the time don't mind (the only costume that had me spitting blood, if you parden the pun is that tudor monstrousity they put Lucy in for Bram Stoker's Dracula).
I will watch it, and see it as fantasy, and therefore probably enjoy it. It's made by the same people that make Dexter so I expect adult content and quite frankly, can forgive alot for Jonathan Rhys Meyers in tight leather and high boots *swoon*.
What is it with Jonathan Rhys Myers that makes everyone faint? I don't think he's that good looking! Give me Mark Dacascos any day! (I have my own mini-version running around at home too!)
The Nieske outfit is currently brown linen and camel upholstery fabric with leaves. I've used a wide strip of maybe 20 cm around the sleeves of the brown middle layer. I was thinking to use brown linen and the last scraps of upholstery around the brim. I really should be taking pictures!

This is why I do live roleplay too - the climax is when you feel exactly the same as your character should feel.

My man wears chaps and loincloths too. Pulls it off quite nicely! He's known as the guy who wears the bare-ass costume. *grin*
