wow! thank you so much for your guys' help in this!
after my thread over in the historical society section kinda didn't get any replies yet, plenty of views mind you, I was nervous lol.
Honestly, the views are enough for that thread worst case, I can handle my own research, and the was I saw it was "well, guess they're as stumped as I am at the moment."
but man, I can not wait to look into "piteado" now. Thanks for that keyword! I saw that holster and literally went "yep, that's my saddle and leather stuff - now to see if it's legit."
Thanks again for the help guys. I'll probably start posting here when I eventually get the leather to get started. I hand stitched my own medieval garb (down to the style of stitch used in the 13th century), and my lady has done black-work and Elizabethan embroidery. She even told me "yep, would love to do that."
speaking of that style of stitch... you say it was used on quite alot. I'm wondering if I may be able to use it on my clothing too?
is that what some of this could be?
Technically, it can belong here. I'm thinking three sets of clothing:
working
semi-dress
dress
I'm thinking the working will be a mixture of garments of muslin, cotton, and wool
semi-dress will have the leather like in James Walker's paintings, hence why I think I can post it here, kind of like this:
dress will be in pure deep blue velvet, with gold lace... not going to lie, by Guy William's version of Don Diego de la Vega is inspiring that one a bit, probably too much.
I'll post more on this in my other thread.
again, thanks guys!
if anyone has pictures of the earlier holsters with the Piteado stitch, that'd be awesome to actually see the style from in period to use as a reference for mine. I'll see what I can find as well of course!
