Volume 4 of the annual journal Medieval Clothing and Textiles will be published in April 2008. Papers in this volume of particular interest to costumers and re-enactors include: -- an in-depth study of an extant 14th-century embroidered linen cap (with diagrams explaining both the cap construction and the embroidery stitches) -- a classification system for surviving archaeological textiles based on their visual attributes (with photos) -- a re-analysis of the Greenland multi-gored gown, examining the possible development of its construction (with diagrams) and comparing it with styles in mainland Europe -- an overview of the use and types of quilts in Henry VIII's inventory, with a close look at one unusual and mysterious example
... as well as other papers that will be of particular interest to individuals depending on their areas and periods of focus. See details and a full contents list at http://www.boydell.co.uk/43833662.HTM .
