[Saragrace Knauf]

What is this banyan thing Bjarne?  I have only seen it in context of a 
particular type of cloak.

  I saw Christian VII's banyan, wich was a love affair to me, made in floral 
  brokade, but the flowers was not in colloured threads, in stead the flowers 
  was painted after the fabric had ben wowen. It has a japanese cut, very 
  simple, but have european style with collar and belt and pockets. Belt is 
  sewn to the back and buttons with 2 buttons center front.
  If i had somewhere to wear such a thing, i would make it!

Dear Saragrace,
I am sure you have seen many portraits with gentlemen wearing a banyan. Its 
a kind of dressing gown or morning gown. In stead of wearing a full dressed 
outfit, a man being at home could have visitors and wear a banyan. You 
usually wore the banyan with your shirt, waistcoat and breeches, but 
Christian VII's banyan was closed entirely in the front, so he could have 
worn nothing underneath :-)
Usually a cap follwed with the banyan, so the gentleman didnt have to wear a 
wig, but its missing in this outfit.


Then i also looked at portraits, thoaght that this time i would exhamine 
very closely, a disgussion we have had on an 18th century list i am on, if 
men wore makeup!
I still believe they used makeup, such pale skin and such rose colloured 
cheaks and lips, i am still convinsed after i studyed the portraits of the 
kings.
Its the german lummieres members, they dont dare to wear makeup, and they 
therefore hold to the fact that men didnt wear makeup in 18th century, but 
they did PERIOD

Of course they did! I'm sure a farmer in the fields didn't, but a man at  
court would not have been looked at twice [unless he was very handsome ;-)] in  
makeup and perfumed powder.
 
Remember the gambling scenes in Barry Lyndon filmed under real candle  
light? Beautiful!... with men and women made up and powdered...wigs and  faces.
