Bjarne, can you explain how 17th century men's linen cuffs (wristbands) were pinned on? I used to wear male 17th century attire when I was younger, but was never able to work out a satisfactory way to get the white cuffs to stay in place. I made them to fasten round my wrist inside the doublet sleeve and then turn back over the sleeve. Did they simply stick a pin in each side of the opening?

Then they used to (in come cases) turn back the sleave, so that it would make a cuff in itself. But when worn with white linnen cuffs, i suppose they were just pinned together with the cuffs. No buttons, no buttonholes - nothing ______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
