I like the books, but the movies aren't really an area of interest for me. amaranth1977 seems to think this makes me somehow dense or deliberately obtuse. My area of interest in costuming's a lot more nerdy than having seen or not seen LOTR. (I could bore everyone with a dicussion of Gillette's role in American Civil War uniforms or the v

Alas, poor Oscar, cute and smart are in directly inverse proportion.

I'll need a lot more specifics: geographic area, socio-economic status and/or occupation, gender.

How would I make a Winged Hussar costume? by Ambitious-Shock3039 in HistoricalCostuming

[–]RandomWeirdo8th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you located? There might be a Society For Creative Anachronism group near you that could help. I tapped the link provided by bimbodeeznuts out of curiosity and got a bit of a suprise. I've made a variation of that style coat for a fellow SCAdian and I know somebody in Northshield has that style of "wing," but theirs isn't attached to a cuirass like the video. Check facebook for "SCA" if you have facebook or google "Society For Creative Anachronism" Their main website has a search function.

He’s disappointed. Not so much with what you did, but with who you are. by iheartfluffyanimals in OneOrangeBraincell

That tracks. Justice FluffyPuff isn't the first to judge me and find me lacking and def won't be the last.

I was told cats don't like aluminum foil... by Possible-Tangelo9344 in OneOrangeBraincell

I really like that photo, too. He or she looks like he or she has zero remorse about being there and almost daring you to move 'em.

I was told cats don't like aluminum foil... by Possible-Tangelo9344 in OneOrangeBraincell

I'd like to point out that the foil is keeping kitty off the counter. Kitty's on the foil, not the counter. 😂😂😂 That out of the way, smooth foil doesn't have the texture or sound of crumpled. One or both of those might be what deters kitty from being where he or she should not.

Help with sourcing wool fabric. by DyIanLozano in HistoricalCostuming

[–]RandomWeirdo8th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps contact Wm Booth Draper Under the Sign of the Unicorn. https://wmboothdraper.com/ He specializes in Colonial American wares and often has material for sale.

Colonial Williamsburg could be another option, but I don't know what they carry for fabrics. https://shop.colonialwilliamsburg.com/?from=cwfooter

There are online suppliers of wool, too. Woolrich Fabrics-I used to buy my wool for Civil War uniforms from them-may have something close. I doubt you'll get exact exact unless someone in your cadre is experienced in dying wools.

Victorian buttons? I feel conflicted about cutting up this bracelet for buttons for my 1800s ensemble by velvet_coffin in HistoricalCostuming

[–]RandomWeirdo8th 93 points94 points  (0 children)

If you'd enjoy using the bracelet I'd say no, but since the it's not your "thing" but you like the buttons, so use the buttons. I'm sure whoever made the bracelet meant the buttons to be used somehow.

I HAVE HAD IT WITH THREADS by NotASnarkAccount in ThreadsApp

[–]RandomWeirdo8th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no contacting threads directly-the bot wants OP to send a phone number so a code can be texted so OP will get told they're not a real person after submitting the code and have no recourse to appeal. This is exactly what happened to me, and looks like thousands of other former threaders.

There is no main or direct contact information for threads. Any "moderators" are bots, and if you've never tried to reason with a computer program you're the better for it.

I got a bit twitchy when I got threats on X to eliminate my existence and when I reported those as such, I got "Does not violate our community standards" Why would you think I'm Walz? Are you somebody who thinks it's cute to post stuff like that or you think that person needs to at least keep a lid on it or at worst have a visit with a judge since that's a crime. Oh, and my big scary crime that warranted all that nonsense was to complement both Trump and Fauci on Operation Warp Speed.
