Hmmm, seems I misplaced Agricola's photo disc of his SUBARMALIS. He did a super job!
But, I have a few teaser pics at hand...
#1 is the body of the subarmalis. In this photo it's incomplete... but so far: It's been handsewn, quilted in a diamond pattern. Linen with a wool core... 2 layers of a felted wool blanket.
#2 is the shoulder pattern he settled on. It gets sewn on the outside, on top of the shoulder. Note that the edging is binded.
#3 is the pile of felted wool he wanted to use as padding inside the shoulder pad in pic #2. He ended up reducing it by half. The left side is the shoulder point, the right side is towards the neck.. and its upside down. The goal is to create a flatter shoulder top profile
#4 A closeup of one of the tie closures. Hand made braided cordage... and it's all handsewn

We'll post up more links to more pics when we can.
How it changes how the seg fits and functions is good!
