Re: [h-cost] Luttrell Psalter Period Query
Some 15th-century hose were built with soles so one didn't need to wear shoes. I don't know about 14th-century hose, but it's possible that it was done that way earlier as well.

Shirts, Shoes and joining h-costume ; Re: [h-cost] Luttrell Psalter Period Query
Interesting, I was just looking at some paintings from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection. There were a number of them where men were in this state of dress. I don't know, but wonder if its just perhaps some folk couldn't afford shoes. A few years ago when doing a paper on costuming terms in the German language, I came across a story about a plot during some war or another where the signal that you were on one side was that you only wore a shirt. Some members did not own a shirt, therefore they were allowed to borrow paper to wear in lieu of a shirt. Surely shoes were more expensive than shirts?

There was a christmas card sold by the Metropolitan several years ago, which showed a male donor in an elaborate houppelande kneeling before the Christ child. You could see that the soles of his hose, which were black (presumably leather) were quite different than his colored hose. They also had pointed toes. I wish I'd gotten a copy of that card; I've thought of it often! cv -- You can tell the difference between principles and prejudices because principles sometimes bind, but prejudices always feel warm and comfy. -- TJIC ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Victoria is back!
And for those of you who did not: http://www.victoriamag.com/ Thanks for the head's up, Chiara!!! Now I just have to hope that they will send to me FPO or overseas, right? The only reason I finally got rid of my back issues was the weight limit that I have to have to have to observe for this military move to Cornwall, otherwise I would have kept them.? I also had 20+ years worth of Bon Appetit, Gourmet, etc..? I am such a pack rat.? Don't even ask about the fabric that I have gotten rid of, and the patterns.? But I am learning to take pleasure in sharing like I had never thought I would, and I am really enjoying that.? I am finding new joy in giving, and that has brought new life to things held in dark closets for too long.? Besides.? Now I have a valid excuse to buy more things when I get to England. ;-) ~Kimberley -Original Message- From: Chiara Francesca [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 10:53 am Subject: [h-cost] Victoria is back!

[h-cost] New India Cottons
Dear Costumers, I have nearly 50 new India Cotton prints now available on my Web site, http://www.timetraveltextiles.com. In celebration of the new shipment, all are $12 a yard. Also, for those of you in the Boston, Massachusetts, USA, area, Melinda Williams of Sari Safari (http://www.sarisafari.com) will be returning to Cambridge for a trunk show on Saturday, July 7, from 2 to 7 pm. This will be a wonderful opportunity to see beautiful traditional regional weavings from India in cotton and silk. I have learned an immense amount about the nature and differentiation of fabrics in a pre-industrial textile manufacturing economy from seeing and handling these saris, and recommend the experience to anyone who is interested broadly in what cloth was like before the Industrial Revolution. I can also go on about what I mean by this at greater length than is fair, so I will shut up now! If you are interested in the trunk show, send me an e-mail privately for more info. Melinda will also be in Chicago and New York that week, and if you are in those cities and might be interested in a trunk show, let me know and I will pass your info along to her. Thanks!
