Hello all, and welcome to Project Regency Gentleman!
This is a project that I've wanted to do for at least ten years. Historical fashion has always fascinated me, and I'm very excited to begin this project.
I'm currently planning a variety of items both accurate and fantastical, but to start I'm making a Napoleonic era Royal Navy Captain's undress coat for the accurate and a Royal Aerial Corps (from Naomi Novik's Temeraire series) Captain's undress coat for the fantastical, as well as the requisite shirts, waistcoats, and breeches/pantaloons/trousers.
This first round is not going to be period-accurate materials, and most things will be machine-sewn because I do not hate myself, but I hope to be as accurate as a total amateur could be in terms of fashions!

Thought some of y’all might be interested in this deep dive. I love Heilung, Wardruna etc, but it’s not historical music by any stretch of the imagination.
Interesting tit-bit I picked up in my casual studies of Viking age history a few years back now that he doesn’t mention - there’s no evidence that there were drums during this period. The preservation of wood does occur in graves in Scandinavia but no drums have been found.
It’s been suggested that they may have used their shields to beat a tune instead, and there’s a section in Heilung’s LIFA show where they do that - so hats off to them for that - but modern ‘Viking’ music is very drum heavy without any basis in known history.
