The pine green velveteen has now arrived for Percival's doublet. The pattern was cut - for interlining - on Boxing Day, and I have been working since on the trimmings - a flying geese pattern of ruched grosgrain ribbon in tobacco brown. There is an extra set of sleeves in cocoa brown with black trimming.
This doublet is much more subdued than last year's red and gold brocade, which attracted censorious attention from The Management, though the materials are no less rich, as are suitable for the son of a minor noble.
