I can't see it on the computer I am at now. Often that is a firewall issue, sometimes though it is a problem with the post. Maybe others can see it.

Either way, you may want to consider doing the arms as detachable laced on pieces. In the time period you mention, attaching sleeves this way wasnt uncommon. Not sure the reason, other than style, but it will give you flexibility to wear with and without.

Interesting.

For some reason, I expected it to be longer. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure why you couldnt use this pattern and modify it a bit - http://www.ecrater.com/p/6338493/mccalls-5907-mp316-medieval-costumes-sewing The collar would probably be the most difficult thing to put together.

I typically transfer these tissue paper patters to poster board and then cut them out. The tissue paper is useful for pinning to fabric, but that would scar the leather. Before cutting them out, you can sketch-edit the differences.
