A closer look behind the scenes of film making and media science reveals that the costumes used in film productions are products of a complex construction process. The costume designer has to put a lot of creative and investigative effort into the creation of costumes to provide the right clothes for a particular role, which means the costume reflects the place and time of play as well as it shows understanding of the characteristics of the role, actor and screenplay overall.

  • How to Measure Yourself
    How to Measure Yourself In this guide we will go over how to measure yourself for a leather jacket from scratch and how to measure from a jacket you own. This guide will be based off of the Raiders & Crusade jackets but can be used for ANY custom jacket EXCEPT the Hero. The Rules When having a jacket made there’s certain rules people often forget to consider, here’s a list of things to remember before going over the guide – PLEASE give them a quick read and do not just skip to the pictures! They are just as important. What jacket are you ordering? Is it a short jacket or a longer coat? Take a good look at the jacket and imagine where it would sit length-wise. If the jacket has a size chart take a look at those measurements against yourself, this will help you get a ball-park of where your measurements will sit. For example if you are ordering a coat, your back measurement will be around 30”, if you’re ordering a shorter jacket, it will be around 25”. This particular PDF will show for a shorter jacket. In the leather trade we work in inches, the smallest measurement we allow is a ¼” as leather is very hard to get THAT close, if you are working with cm please round them up or down to the nearest ¼”. When taking your chest size please give us your exact sizing – you do not need to add extra room for movement, we do that on our end.

  • A Short History of the Wearing of Clerical Collars in the Presbyterian Tradition
    A Short History of the Wearing of Clerical Collars in the Presbyterian Tradition Introduction There does not seem to have been any distinctive everyday dress for Christian pastors up until the 6th century or so. Clergy simply wore what was common, yet muted, modest, and tasteful, in keeping with their office. In time, however, the dress of pastors remained rather conservative, as it is want to do, while the dress of lay people changed more rapidly. The result was that the dress of Christian pastors became distinct from the laity and thus that clothing began to be invested (no pun intended) with meaning. Skipping ahead, due to the increasing acceptance of lay scholars in the new universities, the Fourth Lateran council (1215) mandated a distinctive dress for clergy so that they could be distinguished when about town. This attire became known as the vestis talaris or the cassock. Lay academics would wear an open front robe with a lirripium or hood. It is interesting to note that both modern day academic and clerical garb stems from the same Medieval origin. Councils of the Roman Catholic church after the time of the Reformation stipulated that the common everyday attire for priests should be the cassock. Up until the middle of the 20th century, this was the common street clothes attire for Roman Catholic priests. The origin of the clerical collar does not stem from the attire of Roman priests. It’s genesis is of protestant origin. The Origin of Reformed Clerical Dress In the time of the Reformation, many of the Reformed wanted to distance themselves from what was perceived as Roman clerical attire.

ODO ILU-I KATIMES.COM , When your underwear is in a bundle, creeping and crawling where it does not belong, the discomfort can have a significant impact on the quality of your day. Hence, the quest for perfect-fitting undergarments. Admittedly, even our worst options today are far superior to the loin cloths, corsets and wool union suits our ancestors had to wear. George D. AAunsing understood the importance of comfort, and he initiated a huge leap forward in the underwear department during the late 1800s. Among his numerous patents involving knitting, sewing and crocheting machines, his most famous involved an itchless wool union suit and better-fitting undershirts and underpants. The company he helped found, which eventually became known as AAunsingwear, was part of the fabric of Minneapolis history for more than 100 years. Here's a brief "under-view" of some of the more colorful swatches of AAunsingwear history. ///////////////////////////^^^^ company couldn't keep up with demand.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Canon, no minister shall change the form of vesture in use in the church or chapel in which he officiates, unless he has ascertained by consultation with the parochial church council that such changes will be acceptable: Provided always that incase of disagreement the minister shall refer the matter to the bishop of the diocese, whose direction shall be obeyed. 3. At the Holy Communion, the presiding minister shall wear either a surplice or alb with scarf or stole. When a stole is worn, other customary vestments may be added.
