Hello all,
<SNIP>
Has anyone ever come across a reference to a colored
shirt, perhaps black or blue in color, in any
contemporary reference of the later 16th century in
England or nearby? While I am skeptical, any
information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kimiko
Kimiko,
I'm no expert, but could blue refer to a super bleached fabric? Isn't
a bluing agent sometimes used to whiten discoloured white fabric?
Cheers,
Jane
