How about the garment Christine of Denmark wears. Its made of fur. Holbein painted her, scroll down to find it on the right side.............. http://www.italy.dk/turisme/lombardia/milano/mi-castello.htm ******************* When I was studying costume history in college [not too long after the Schaube went out of style...OK...really the mid 1970's] A schaube was also a short garment, like what you see Henry VIII wearing over his doublet with a set of bases. The thing with the big sleeves and a fur collar. _http://www.marileecody.com/henry8/henry8afterholbein1.jpg_ (http://www.marileecody.com/henry8/henry8afterholbein1.jpg) _http://www.marileecody.com/henry8/henry8eworth1.jpg_ (http://www.marileecody.com/henry8/henry8eworth1.jpg) Sometimes referred to as a jerkin. But the forms of these garments seem so different, the later jerkin being almost identical to a doublet, the terms can get confusing. I always referred to this type of Henry VIII over-robe thingie as a schaube. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
