Frankly Pete, they are really great!
By the way, I spoke a couple of month ago with a french guy who knows really well the 17th and 18th century ( he's a mini painter and re-enactor ). He told me that there's absolutely no official document about the design of the Cardinal's guards tabards. He only found an official order for meters of red cloth and other pieces and that's all.
I'm using the one as the big boss!
