Re: [academieduello] Uniforms and Shirts

Regarding the doublets: Is it possible to have the outer layer of the coat
zippered to the inner layer(s)? This would (I imagine) make it cheaper on us for
when we advance to only have to buy a new outer layer rather than an entirely
new doublet.

Regardless, I'm interested in ordering one.

As to t-shirts... my talents are never callable: they show up only when
unsolicited and (usually) at the worst possible times. Set up a meeting with the
Queen and I'll likely come back with a slew of pure gold. But before that, how
about: "We don't just duck-walk!"
