In other news I'm having mini panic attacks over my short story for creative writing. Apparently I'm something of a writing perfectionist, and the distinct lack of feedback I'm getting is freaking me out. I have to turn it in for a class workshop on Wednesday. *hyperventilates*
I'm sure it came out great
wink
I needs a little advice, if you guys don't mind. Somewhere between now and June I'm planning on ordering a leather jerkin (lest something big comes up) and I'm trying to decide just what to do with it. About a year ago I asked opinions on the jerkin style, now I'm getting a little more into the nitty gritty. Haha.
The problem - I want this to be a multi-purpose jerkin. By that I mean I want it to work with just about any Renaissance-ish / medieval outfit, not just a GR cosplay. As much as I love GR I don't want to fork over $200 for a small segment of a Weapon's cosplay ^^;; I want it to work all around even if it means sacrificing a few Black Shield details.
The jerkin (note- both picutres are the same jerkin):
Dunno if any of you guys lag easily so I've copied the images from the store's site just in case and uploaded them to photobucket. They're a little too big to post without stretching the page though and I didn't want to make them smaller since it then makes the text rather difficult to read. So I've linked to them.
I need help picking out closures and a collar. I like the shoulders in the image so I'm letting that be. Haha.
Closures
Collars
Collar wise I'm torn between "knight" and "knight button," though the "ranger" one looks nice too...
gonk
For closures I only want buttons. No idea which color to go with though. I really like the "antique nickel" buttons in image, but I think anything (except the regular brass) would look nice. I have a pair of black knee-high boots that have the "antique" nickel buttons on them, which is why I'm sort of leaning that way, but I also have a pair of plain-old black boots that stop a little short of the knee (the former has a 1 1/2 inch heel, the latter is pretty much flat). I kind of figure the Weapons would have black buttons but the idea of having a jerkin that merges into one giant black mass has me weary when wanting it to be multi-purpose. Like I said, I'm up for any color suggestions except for the vibrant brass. I don't know which boots are going to work better with the outfit so I'm not going to worry too much if the button colors aren't the same (I wish they had images of each button color agains the leather >.< )

Thanks in advance guys.
