Ramirez (above and left) was based on 16th century men's clothes,
and I have now made two reproductions in velvet based on his costume
from the film Highlander. The peacock feather cloak, (the
peacock is a symbol of immortality!), had no origin in anything
I could find, but is strongly reminiscent of various native clothes
such as the Maori and Inuit ceremonial cloaks.
The gloves were handstitched from fine leather, see also accessories.
The hat was provided by Catherine
Delaney, which I then decorated.
These clothes are frequently worn by people who are involved
in Live Role Play rather than re-enactors, but more and more often
I find I am using these ideas for alternative weddings.
Unfortunately I am not able to make Spiderman, Superman, or other superhero costumes as these are outside my area of expertise.
