Ep. 3 - The Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe 

Haha! Aww. So glad you found my channel too!

Thank you! I really appreciate that :)

Thank you for saying so. I think what draws me to this era is that respect for the dead was a whole part of the culture. This is important to me. I want to be sure I'm giving the same respect.

Right?! Same! A proper biopic is WAY overdue!

It is indeed! Thank you! I changed it ;)

Ahh! Thank you for that correction! When I was trying to understand exactly what kind of coat the doctor was describing, from what I researched, it appeared as tho there were specific styles of coats that this fabric would be used for - but perhaps he was indeed just simply describing the fabric itself. Thanks again!

@@myvictoriannightmare You're very welcome. My sister did a little additional research, and the coat Poe was found in is described as "a sack coat made of a cheap and sleazy alpaca," which adds a new wrinkle. 😅😅

@@antipatsy Ooo! Does she know the source? I could only find quotes from his friend Joseph Snodgrass and the doctor.

I know the term bombazine from use in local dress here. Just finished a vest made of bombazine (also called "pilo"). It is a heavy duty fabric, made of cotton/linen, and a roughened surface (a bit like flannel). Usually black. It has the heaviness of sturdy denim. So it is quite a low-class fabric.

@@myvictoriannightmare lol the Google!
