Denny has mailed this one to me (this is a poor quality jpeg made from the html image he emailed me). Looking good, Denny!
Very nice! Patrick, I hope that you’ll see if Michael would place this on your Rendition Page. Denny, that is awesome! Well done!
Very nice! I especially like the mantling.
Cheers,
Yes, the mantling is a great feature here.

An intact lambrequin! It is nice to that that at least one of the gentlemen on this forum is careful not to ride his warhorse through brambles and low branches.

Ahem!

No offence was meant Joseph. I am quite sorry that I did not include you within the earlier comment.
Not a problem, David, just ribbing a bit.

You’ve got ribbing in your lambrequin? Darn! I have to hold mine on with a torse!

Why would Patrick, Joe, and I want to do that? It would hurt, and our cloaks could get shredded. You know, David, like yours. 
The time is soon approaching when I will have to have my arms drawn without mutilated lambrequins. Since we have been in the era of paper heraldry for some centuries, it would seem to me that drawing lambrequins as if they had been shredded in battle is quite preposterous.
No worse than our better halves spending hours & quarts of hairspray to create a "windblown look" set in concrete… 
I have read somewhere that the origin of the "shredded" lambrequin is actually the medieval practice of making garments with scalloped or zigzag hems. It was only later that someone came up with the "explanation" that the mantling had been sliced in battle.

That acutally sounds fairly reasonable. Why would any self-respecting knight ride about with a tattered lambrequin?
