Methinks they actually meant something as well. Prolly communicated something important to those who paid attention. Like who you belonged to or how much money was spent on you.

Jennifer Grove yes that makes sense, like a status symbol

@@DarkMoonDroid And absolutely proved, if the expensive fabrics didn't, that you could afford to have someone dress you.

I'd love to see more of them, :D

U like robes bro?

I'd like to see one for a gentleman from the Restoration era.

Khamomil The chaperon evolved from a regular hood worn with the face opening rolled up and put on the head.

Нет, не единственная. Я тоже их смотрю)

cakecrumb095 You mean the 19th century (1800s), right?

No! They are held up by the belt

TurquoiseStar17 I guess half of watchers of these videos are writers

we are making videos with the clothing we use for our hobby and work. If you want to commission a series of videos to your specification, we would be charging you for design and clothes making, hours used for filming research and editing.... i don't think that's what you had in mind/ :-)

hose, shirt and doublet for summer add gown and cloaks, hoods for winter. similar cuts, k= just wth less and lower grade fabrics and different colours

Nancy Volker 😂😂😂

👀😂

we can do commissioned videos- depending on your budget.... we already have a series of lady's dressing up , for a grown up woman ( but who knows, she could still be a maiden, lol!)

The braise was a pair of long, baggy underwear/ normal wear (or you can not even wear them at all, just a tunic). The Hose can best be described as a pant(trouser) leg without the groin area, people would wear it when they were riding a horse they would eventually evolve into western pants. a joined hose is one where the two legs were together by a string of fabric.

Videos on demand start from 2k...

+Bobbi Lee-Ann Nunn cuff open of course and either in evidence

As it is stated in the credits, we make them...

yes

Okay, thank you!

to intimidate your serfs into slaving for nothing and being afraid of you, i think

Back in those days, if they were one of the wealthy nobles, they put a lot of emphasis on showing off their wealth through their clothing.

@@averagewoman6962 In the 1950s (I'm old enough to remember). the military tailoring that had been fashionable for men and women was no longer in fashion for civilians. Men's suits still had shoulder shaping, but they were otherwise straight up-and-down. The waistline was no longer defined. They were, in a word, ugly.

by Jason Shaw, from the public domain music store

not really, men's outfits could be just as complex!

Johannes Liechtenauer It's actually more that men are taught that to dress elaborately nowadays is either unmanly or that they are paying "too much" attention to the way they dress. Which is also considered feminine, and therefore they simply COULDN'T stoop to that level. It's the product of the previous generation's mentality and corresponding teachings.

It really depended on the social status. Working class men definitely had it fairly easy, but the upper class for both genders having overly complex outfits was a status symbol, as it showed to everyone that you were rich enough to afford servants.

Katherine Pulliam It's a shame because men used to wear amazing colors and textures and florals and embroidery, and it only really changed after the industrial revolution

hello - all depended on rank, social status, circumstances etc. In most circumsances, a man would be helped by his fellow males - friends, brothers, or servants. If of a lower rak, help would be usualy unnecessary at all ayway. if a woman was helping out, it would be a wife or a sister - or, on rare occassions when an esteemed guest was offered a bath by a host, the host's womanfolk would be helping with bathing - and probaby also with dressing up after a bath, if needed.

priorattire, Thank you so much!!! You definitely helped us sort this all out...and helped me win the bet! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! Thank you so much for your time and prompt response. You rule!

priorattire Ah, I understand. Recently found your channel so amazed by it. You do an amazing job!

Thank you! I do what I can with the stuff I already have and use for work, but anything new that has to be researched, made, filmed, edited is just not possible unless on a commission:-(

priorattire I understand, it really is a lot of work to do videos like this. I wish I could fund one :( I have subscribed to your channel as I really like and admire the work you do! :)

I also learned that the button was brought about by that mini ice age. I believe it was mentioned in a James Burke documentary series that I watched years ago, either an episode of 'Connections' or 'The Day the Universe Changed.'

When I think to a raised collar, I think to the figure 37 of the article "coiffure" and the figures 8 and 8 bis of the article "houppelande" in Violet-le-Duc dictionary.

of course - let me come back to you with a quote of how much it would cost ( hire of premises, actors, making costumes for them all, how many days to film and how many days to edit, film crew etc.) - i suspect you are looking at roughly £10k for a short 15 min feature.... :-)

It might be what's called a sack hat.

I have learned since my post that it is called a flat cap, but very embellished.

a beret? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beret not flat cap...well, i am not sure but seems unlikely. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_cap or maybe just tudor bonnet?

Not to shirt- the hose is attached to a doublet and for number 2 easy just to shrug it all off- or unlace the back

Moreover, afaik you usually develop a rythmn. Number 2s in the morning and before going to bed, to save you all the trouble of going through the joust that is getting dressed.

@@kamielvanmeel131 Whichever way, it's still all a hot ass mess!😱😄.

linen braies ( underpants) were worn under the hose. quite skimpy by that time

Servant. It would be great to have a sevant too, but a servant is much easier to come by... Methinks Machiavelli was a savant... I was actually thinking along the same lines. Think of all these jobs that are no longer available! What did those poor people do who had all those skills? Not only to lace and pleat for you, but to custom design and build these amazing garments just for you! Industrialization solved many problems. But the problem of where to take all of your hard-won skills and earn a good living in exchange for them was not one of them.

No reason you couldn't wear one now just because it wasn't fashionable for women then.

Kannon Joshuartha Interestingly enough, up until the 1700s or so European men tended to dress more flamboyantly and intricately than women, in brighter colours. :) It was considered "immodest" for women to wear makeup, bright colours, and attention grabbing clothing. Not to say that women never did those things, especially if they were very rich, but the church censured it heavily; in the middle ages even going so far as to encourage small boys to rip off women's headdresses in the street to humiliate them if their clothes were too fancy. (Yep...) When court ladies started wearing bolder clothes that emulated male fashions, male court opinion of the 1700s reacted by declaring that the proper masculine way to dress was in dark sober colours and simple clothing. That's how high heels became a strictly feminine thing, when they were originally menswear, and why modern menswear typically comes in such boring colours. And why this guy looks so bright and fancy. :)

Priorattire Thanks! So my guy Edward IV (LONG before The White Queen I will say!) could have dressed like this. He certainly didn't wear clothes like this in TWQ.

In other words, this is what Henry VII would have seen grownups wearing when he was a kid, although the style is more continental than English. (He was born in 1457.) The hat is very similar to styles I have seen in Dutch paintings of the period. Henry would have had more of a French flair in his dress: a scrawny teenager with a beaky nose and a wart on his chin would have stood out like an overgrown scarecrow whatever he did, and that is what he probably looked like in 1473, hiding in Brittany.

am familiar with the books, bit not with the game at all so cannot say. it is a fantasy though so it might be medieval-esque rather than authentic historical style.

priorattire Just look his name up in Google images. It should be the first one. There's also a fantastic cosplay. I'm not sure if YT allows me to post links. I'll try in a second reply.

edi I think Olfgierd's outfit is supposed to look kind of exotic. It kind of looks like something from India. As for the rest of the game they mix a lot of different clothing styles, mostly late medieval/early rennaisance but with deviations. Anna Henrietta has a sort of Elizabethan/ Tudor look. The witch hunters as well as Toussaint's guards almost have a colonial look lol; I think it's because of the Toussaint Guard helmets and the witchhunter hats with the buckles on them. And of course there's the leather biker look that a lot of the witcher light armor has that nobody in the historical community likes lol. Oh and I don't think high heels were invented until much later, long after the 12th century so Ciri, Yen, and Triss all have the wrong shoes :b how do you even sword fight in those things lol

wearing silk - upper/ nobility

Fabulous

1500s is the renaissance era

they had shirts ( chemise, shift, smock - whatever the name) , and they had hose ( sort of long socks) as well as braies ( linen boxer shorts for men) - lots of evidence in medieval paintings etc. coifs were very important - they kept your hair clean, protected from the itchy material of the hat or hood ( officially you will not be wondering around with your hair bare. hats were a very important part of outdoor attire) uk.pinterest.com/priorattire/late-medieval/

priorattire hose means literally trousers in german

I suspect that you never see them in movies because in movies, while every other aspect of costume and makeup may be spot-on, hairstyles remain staunchly 21st-century. i.e The hair of an attractive young woman (most especially the heroine) must be left long and flowing around her face. The assumption seems to be that, while they can cope with farthingales, bone stays, whitened faces or singed wigs, 21st century audiences just can't empathise with a heroine who doesn't have loose hair flying in the wind..

Spencer O'Dowd You can clearly see the laces on the trousers that can be quickly undone to go to the toilet. The clothes were specifically designed for that.

All day? 5-10 minutes.....

in the late medieval period (prior to the discovery of the new world), the Spice Trade through the Middle East was the road to riches for any serious european merchant. Much of Arab culture and custom influenced Europe in this time, and throughout the renaissance as well.

Not really at all, they seem to have primarily worn simple full length robes at this point. I'd say those is central and Eastern Europe shared more in common with the Arabs in their fashion.

The funny thing about them. the Chaperon (the hat) may have originally been a hood+cape combo wore during cold weather. Some person decided to put it on backward and the Chaperon we all know and love came to be.

Cole Ball Yeah, it likely started out as a hood with the face opening rolled up and the head put into it.

Personally I think they look cool as heck! Plus, there were different styles you could wear them in if you don't like that one.

No because beauty standards and fashion were really weird back then like a male having a short torso or a woman being chubby

@@merod7313 the women being chubby as a beauty trend was the Boroque era in the 17th century, like the nudes that Peter Paul Reubens painted in the same era (hence the word reubenesque to describe a thicc female). The thought was the thicker the woman was, the more wealth she had so it was held as a beauty standard up through the 18th century.

Guys wearing like this were the ones doing the bullyng.

you dont have good taste in fashion you piglet. and this was prime clothing for noble men

@@milesleeplz No! It`s all others who don`t have taste
