Does anybody know the size and shape of a man's cravat c. 1889? Were men even wearing cravats at this time? I'm trying to find images of men's outwear and not having a lot of luck at the moment.

[h-cost] OT early medieval copper jewelry on ebay
Greetings, Please forgive another commercial posting here... I've just posted an early medieval copper parure on ebay which would probably be perfect for Viking or Saxon, although I do admit that, that time period is greatly outside my expertise: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=5048451007rd=1sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AITrd=1 Cheers, Danielle ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

[h-cost] grey waistcoat embroidery
Well, i know i said i had to waite with this till when i have finished the yellow dress, but i could not resist my lust to try out the mulberry silk threads i got. This is going to be a dark grey gentlemans embroidered waistcoat of 1770ies. It is vey hard to trace pattern to dark fabric, so i used my rice paper, reversed the pattern and sticked it to the backside of the taffeta. Then i used white sewingthread and small running stitches to outline the whole pattern. This worked fine, but it took some time to do. Here is one pattern repeat of the pattern.

[h-cost] Moda a Firenze 1540-1580
Im about to send this book back to the UGA library (ya gotta love InterLibrary Loan!). Not only does it have an enormous collection of paintings that I've never seen before, it also has a picture of, well, a sweater. Figure cption reads Women's camicola or knitted jacket. First quarter of seventeenth century. Florence, Museo Stibbert. Camicola knitted in red and gold silk, made my male professionals. This type of garment, already present in Eleanora's wardrobe, is recorded with increasing frequency in the documents of the second half of the century.
