Oh how much did I LOVE this costume!!!!!!!!
Ned Gowan is one of my favorite characters in the book, and this costume was so much fun to do! Bill Paterson is perfection. Such a lovely, lovely man.
Our aging and dyeing team did a fabulous job on this!
Yes! You and your team and Bill Paterson got Ned Gowan spot on! I love Ned Gowan.
Just perfect!
Ned is also a favorite of mine. He’s smart, calm, practical, shrewd, kind and adventurous. He looks perfect, as they all do.
They are dressed in all their finery
In their plaids, knits,woolens and plain clothes
Nothing is amiss
I believe them
the most important thing of all.
Loved his hat! Loved he used the cuffs on his jacket as a pocket. I’ve never seen it before, but it was genius.
Loved Ned’s character in the book and you did a very fine job with his costume. I love the picture of the two of them (Ned & Claire) together. How you ever manage to get all the costumes to be different yet all work well with each other is wonderful and it must require much advance planning. Not just the color palette, but the way the shapes & their outlines work so well in unison without looking forced.
I wish it was all planned. It just all comes out of my head and experience. It is a grand roller coaster ride. You just have to trust and believe in yourself, and then HOLD ON!!!!!!! LOL
Excellent!
Fabulous costume. I want that swan quill.
–Aging and dying =@ enquery’s dream job. ;)–
You mean his coat wasn’t really worn out? Nice job bc it looks so worn!
Ned is one of my favorites also.This clothing was perfect for him.Ned has a sweet side when he wants but a snake that will bite if needed! The cut and color that was given to him is perfect.Bill did a terrific job bringing him life and in the head to toe clothing oh it just suited him so well! It blends perfect with the landscape and the natural colors they all wear loved it!!
Thank you so much for all your insights. They add so much. Your costumes are almost other characters in the story.

Ned’s one of my most favorites, also. Mr. Patterson is doing a damn fine Ned. Just a beaut, that costume. Is his coat velvet? It’s so perfectly aged that it almost looks like leather. Every detail is there. If you missed anything, no one would ever know!!
It is velvet. Very, very worn velvet.
LOVE Bill Paterson’s costumes, but especially that tricorne hat (if that’s the correct term). I think it makes him look very jaunty and reveals “the soul of a romantic”. Many kudos!
Bill Peterson is exactly how I envisioned Ned Gowan. His costume is so Ned – simple but resplendent. Love his hat, the whole nine yards.
Bill Paterson is fantastic as Ned Gowan! His costume looked great also.

This podcast was just great. Thank you and Ron so much for doing them. They are enormously appreciated. I laughed out loud at the discussion of the tricorne hat.
Gorgeous work! I am really loving your blog, and of course the series, which is made more splendid by the amazing costumes!
He just looks so great. Perfect clothing for Bill Patterson and his excellent portrayal of Ned.
