[h-cost] Early Medieval horisontal looms
A while ago, someone on this list asked for reference to a shuttle found in Waterford, Ireland. I've come across a completely unrelated object, but relevant for the early medieval horisontal looms: A pulley from Sigtuna, Sweden (dated to 11th-12th centuries).

Re: [h-cost] shoe sizes
8 is much bigger than 38. At least for ladies' shoes I wear between a size 6.5 to 7.5 in the UK depending on the shoe designer and on the Continent that would be around 41. Thus 8 would be 42/43.

RE: [h-cost] shoe sizes
Bjarne-- A size 8 US men's shoe would be a 38 or 39 European size. You can't trust US sizes, though--they vary quite a bit.

RE: [h-cost] shoe sizes
This is true. But I can say for sure: I (female) wear a size 37 in the European shoes I wear (Berkenstock, but also some closed shoes) and a 6 1/2 or 7 in American-sized shoes; my consort (male) wears an 8 or 8 1/2 American size. There's no way he could fit into my shoes, and his are too large for me even to clomp around in, so I'd question the equation of 8 US men's and 38 or 39 European. A little small on him and a little big on me would NOT wind up to be the same size --for what it's worth-- Ruth Anne -Original Message- From: Kim Baird [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Feb 9, 2007 10:05 AM To: 'Historical Costume' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [h-cost] shoe sizes Bjarne-- A size 8 US men's shoe would be a 38 or 39 European size.

Re: [h-cost] Pattern ease
From: Andrew T Trembley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heh, I was in the garage playing powertools with my dad. I've decided to re-learn braising (it's kinda like welding) so I can make a huge wire supportasse. The wire wrap one I tried was too heavy warped. Brazing, please. Braising is something from home-ec ;) Funny.
