Lawrence (on the left) wearing a silk brocade suit, made specially by the wearer for the part and taken from a surviving orignal garment. He is also wearing an early English rapier only recently completed, the blade is original. Details of the doublet can be seen here, the neck-ruff here and the wrist-ruffs here
While the group is commonly portraying lower classes, this picture shows that our members are also confident in producing middle class garments and acting the part of more cultured members of society.
That being said, Lawrence was for our presentation portrayed as a slightly hot-headed young man. Encouraged to be so by the flush of money at a young age and the apparent admiration of his so-called acquaintance standing on the right.
