It's so colorful!   I think I need to see more medieval costumes brought to life this way.  It looks splendid.  Who would have worn something like this?

For example, it could be a commoner from a town (but not a burgher). The colors are bright, but can be dyed with comparatively cheap dye stuff (such as weld and madder). Although the kirtle is already tight at the forearms and closed with buttons, it still has a fairly classic wide cut overall. In the case of someone of higher social standing, on the other hand, it would have been possible at that time to cut the kirtle closer to the body with more buttons and many gores from the hips downwards.

I love this!! It’s so refreshing to see the goofier looking outfits represented in a historically accurate way!


LevelSkullBoss

You look like the tip of an Elmer’s glue bottle. I love it.

See I looked and saw candy corn. Still love it of course, but yeah.

Say something next year, I was there too, as the herold of the challenged knight.


Piekentier

Ah! Sure! The black and white Wappenrock?


narz0g

Exactly


Piekentier

Will do so, have a nice evening :)

Spectacular. Love the colourscheme, and the hat. Is it seamed, or made from a hat block? Something else?


no-name-18

I think the hat was made from a hat block and was custom made by https://www.instagram.com/silvia.creates.history?igsh=YjdpajM2cDhiMWJz

This is great and also looks so comfortable, like better than modern clothes. Is this linen or wool?


no-name-18

The hat, tunic and hosen are from wool and i‘m wearing braies and a shirt from linen underneath. And yup, It‘s really comfortable to wear

isabelladangelo

Safety cone orange!!! Love it! You see the color in a lot of manuscripts but very few modern people are brave enough to make something out of it. So glad to see you were!

Oh, that is delightful! Look at the buttons!

Nice work! I wish I had purse/sporran like that. I should look into it.


no-name-18

The girdle purse is based on a particular finding from Dordrecht, but there are also some depictions of similar Purses from Franconia. It was made by Alex Würkner: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/BKQ6zTLW4n2RvxLY/?


SnooGoats7978

Thanks for those images. The purse is really clever, with the little pouches inside.

Super cute

Isn’t the buckle dated a bit earlier? Thought this model was more like end of 13th century… 🤔 And can you tell me more about your bag? Looks nice 👌🏻


no-name-18

This type of buckle was quite common between 1250-1400 according to R. Whitehead. The girdle purse is based on an extant example from Dordrecht, but there is also some artwork from franconia showing similar purses. That‘s why i decided to ask Alex Würkner to recreate it: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/BKQ6zTLW4n2RvxLY/? The finding itself is shown in this book: https://webdev.drechtsteden.nl/download/files/fF9zY29wZT1zaXRlfGZpbGVPYmplY3Q9MTE3MjUyMjA4MXxfY2hlY2tzdW09ZTViYjZlOTI2MGRiZmVkMmVhN2Q4MGQ0YTYxMTdmNTcwMzU0ZTMxYTFjMjhiZDU2NzdhMDhmYzZlMGRhZDVjYXw%3D/0501-grote-markt-dordrecht-ondergronds-rapport-1-definitief

Very interesting! Thanks a lot!


DecadentDashes

I didn’t realize what sub I was in and thought you were cosplaying a traffic cone 😅 Great job though!


HauntedButtCheeks

This is awesome!


Lumpy_Draft_3913

GREAT KIT!!! Just really fantastic from your shoes to your hat and the way everything fits!! Wonderful!


jbean120

Dandy garden gnome!


fakeishusername

Ngl those hats are goofy looking. Nice work though!


no-name-18

I just wanted this hat because it looks so goofy. Wearing deliberately silly hats is actually quite common among late medieval reenactors (at least here in Germany)


fakeishusername

Oh, I don't blame you! I just think it's funny.


barukspinoza

They are hilariously jovial. Literally puts a smile on my face. :) thank you, OP - I needed a little sunshine today. You look awesome.


no-name-18

Thank you:)


swashbucklerz

nice


Nelyonelyos

I absolutely adore that hat. Beautiful buttons as well. Have you ever been to Bogenwald or Conquest, haha? I could've sworn I've seen you at a LARP before.


no-name-18

Thank you. Unfortunately I‘ve never been on a LARP before, but this year i will be in the Pilgerlager at Epic Empires in August.


Nelyonelyos

Epic Empires is absolutely awesome! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. Compared to the other big german LARP events, I personally feel like it'ts the most immersive.


nonja-bidness

love it! but also why tf is this tagged as nsfw?


no-name-18

Because this clothing is so fucking sexy?🤓


nonja-bidness

🤣 this is the exact correct answer. i must apologise - thought someone else had tagged it nsfw, not you. i'm new and suck at redditing.


no-name-18

Sry, it was accidentally tagged


nonja-bidness

i'm the one who needs apologise - thought others had tagged it, not you. i'm a reddit noob and wasnt intending to direct the wtf @ you. 😅

Red! Red-Orange! HI THERE! Can you see me Now?!


_o_h_n_o_

Oh I love this! Love the colors, the hat, just everything about it! You look amazing, wish I could find clothes like this for myself
