New heraldic cote

[alysten]

I have the start of a new cote  which will become Baron Larry's rapier armor.   I seem to be doing more heraldic clothing. This project is in the preliminary design stages. This will be worked into 100% linen, with the details appliqued on.  The sword will have flames, as per the device.  I just haven't worked out good flame artwork that I like. Personally I am partial to version 2, but it isn't my decision.

Version 1

Version 2

Definitely 2! I think 1 will have its heraldic aspects distorted/obscured when it's actually worn.
