Don't know if this fits the era you're going for but have a linen shirt and a wool waistcoat from these guys and they're both awesome. https://www.samsonhistorical.com/collections/womens-clothing/products/womens-linen-shift The 100% linen one isn't available yet, but it should be $80 - $100 when it ...

Thanks! Your picnic roll definitely helped in figuring out the general layout, so thank you.

That is nice work! The stitching must have taken foreeeeevvver. I especially like how you used the middle part of Shockbolt's Boromir tabard-clasp as button. It's *exactly* the kinf of thing WETA would have done. :mrgreen: Thanks! I had a few of the first ones he modeled that were too small around,...

It's about as close to canon as you can get without being screen used. It makes a lot of sense, but Boromir already had so much to carry, I get why they scrapped it.

I finished up the bag today. Me and my client opted for the half tool roll, half portmanteau/pouch. For the closure I did two straps with D rings at each end that were riveted in one spot on the bag right underneath the decorative leaf/feather/things. The shoulder strap is a single strap that you th...

Awesome

Yeah, nobody at weta that I've been able to contact has any memory of it. I did come across a scene from the special features where Peter Jackson is on the phone and says something along the lines of "get rid of boromirs bag, I don't like it." The idea I have in my head is something like a...

Opening it seems a little awkward. It looks like you'd have to take it off your shoulder, lay it down, slide the straps over the sides and then unroll, unless I'm not seeing something. :?: It looks like it loops around and through some D rings so it cinches closed as you carry it. I need to play ar...

It could be a blanket cover, but the label says "boromir bag" so maybe not. My standard style knife roll is the basic guideline we're going with for the inside. https://i.imgur.com/oxHxneA.jpg I could definitely do something more functional, but keeping the outside screen accurate is the b...

Not sure if it’s just me but looking at the ends it appears to be stitched and constructed in a style similar to a portmanteau. If you zoom in close you can see the stitching. I maybe imagining it or it could just be folded and stitched to make a clean border. A soft bodied portmanteaus could be ...

Recently a customer commissioned a replica of boromirs shoulder bag/tool roll. It was scrapped before productions so this seems to be the only known photo of it. https://i.imgur.com/N86qOoM.jpg The outside and strap setup seems straight forward enough. My issue is the inside. I'm thinking of doing i...

I personally think the berserkr is as dwarven as a sword can get.

Love it. The embroidery/stitching is awesome.

It works pretty well, it's just a loop that goes around the button, so gravity does most of the work.

Suede should work pretty well for you, especially if you treat it. I made a suede bag like mine for a friend who's a canoe guide and it gets splashed all the time with no ill effect. Suede has a bad reputation, but that's either from people with low quality suede or people who throw a fit when their...
