The Burrell Jacket is pictured in the current Burrell embroidery book, and yes, the one with the ribbon tie front is still at the Museum of Costume in Bath~ I emailed the collection manager there, and received a reply straight away, she is also sending me a picture postcard of it, so I am a very happy camper! The acession number of the Bath jacket is <br />BATMC 1.13.132<br /><br /> xoxoxo rachaelRachael Kinnisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484492441305725235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21409941.post-20422260449977170462010-10-22T18:13:53.398-06:002010-10-22T18:13:53.398-06:00Okay, after poking around on the net, I found a fe...Okay, after poking around on the net, I found a few references, mainly on Elizabethan costume.net, which I am sure you have found.<br />The color photo of the one in Bath has a tie at the very top neckline, this B&W pic of the Suffolk jacket does not have a tie at the top neck, so it still could be two different jackets. <br />Remember that the embroidery patterns were commercially produced during that era, I seem to remember an article in Costume about this very subject, if you haven't read that, do go and find it! (well the 2000 article does not have this style of embroidery, I am remembering another though)<br />The Costume museum at Bath redesigned their website some years ago to be even less helpful, they used to have the jacket on it, Using internet archive I found they date it to 1620, but no accession number.<br />Other photos of the bath jacket I have found<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintageskies83/108052901/in/photostream/<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/hotgingeranddynamite/110104576/in/photostream/Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747037896438065491noreply@blogger.com
