Chlorophyll, from the Greek for green leaf, is derived from vegetable matter and was first isolated in 1817 by Pierre Joseph Pelletier and Joseph Bienaimé Caventou. It quickly denatures (as when vegetables are overcooked) to become khaki or brown, and so is quite a difficult pigment to obtain.
Chlorophyll imparts a delicate green, softer than mineral dyes such as viridian or verdigris, and cleaner than mixed greens like those derived from turmeric and indigo.
The Double Breasted Split Back Coat is cut with a doubled front wrap and no side seams, swooping up to a split at the centre back. Sleeves are put in upside down and seamed into the shoulder.
The Gambeson Lined Shirt Coat takes its name from the mediaeval long quilted garment worn underneath, or instead of, metal armour. Each panel is fully lined with cotton casement and quilted in a single V stitch line from one corner to the other.
