Notes: Although this extended the wear of the heraldic
gown which was cut down, there was alwas an issue with the neckline
being a little lower than it should be for a surcote. I usually managed
to hide this with a decorative hood, but eventually, I needed to make
a whole new surcote, so this one was gifted to my friends at Four
Horsemen Photography for their photobooth. |
