The green ensemble sans cape is also worn by Derek Riddel as King James I in Ep. 2 of this year’s “Gunpowder”. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/23e578371f9e2c6de9eff10d7738e791e51346fcc6cd9609f3379e2c3255d090.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ab2953d99a153f97048f2b983712edafefef8cbd13785c311c923c031c8f88ff.jpg
On Simon Kunz as Lord Howard, you can see at least a reworn doublet. It was made by Alexandra Byrne for Eric Cantona’s French ambassador in “Elizabeth” from 1998. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/075a0c5504d185379475aef0233cb64cd91e2613214cae2076b037f7bfb4e9cf.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/80280971b4d7a9f796c01d2002704ee3ed829b89a36876bc94f591e9bde2d4e6.jpg

Awesome, thank you!
Log in to ReplyAnd here we have the green cape worn again by an extra in: “Ce Jour Là Tout a Changé – L’Assassinat d’Henri IV” 2009
probably reworn by a courtier in “bill” 2015. the other two costumes shown in the left half of this picture are also recycled. at least i’m very sure about the male costume. it was worn by jonathan rhys meyers in the first season of “the tudors”. the woman’s costume shows astonishingly close similarites to this (http://www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/costume/tudorelizabethan023.html)/#cst-tudorelizabethan023. costume originating from “elizabeth” 1998 except for the colouring of the brown/purple parts and maybe the detailing of the puffed and gathered sleeves. maybe they have been redone? there are plenty more reused costumes in bill i have already recognized. just need to make up my mind where to post them

Log in to ReplyHi Kathryn, you’re welcome. I think i might post them over at c19. I still haven’t figured a way to structure mails with pictures in the text not via addendum, which would make explanations or linking and referencing a lot easier. See you there.
