HA! I live in Plymouth and didn't even know that was going on at/through the Plantation ^^;;;;

Thanks for posting! XD Wonder if they'll put it on display after they're done modeling it...would be SWEET to check it out in person! XD

Apparently it's on display at the Winterthur right now, with maybe plans to tour? (I read it yesterday and don't remember.)

This jacket was featured in the Threads online newsletter this week. It's simply gorgeous. <3

For a while they had the doublet replica hanging in the kids' hands-on area of the museum and you could try it on. It fit me PERFECTLY and OH, MAN, I want one!
