Hi Cynthia,
I'm sorry but I'm having memory issues these days. My meds are
really making merry hell with it. I do know that this tidbit has
come up on this list before, so rather than depending a memory that
better resembles swiss cheese at the moment, you would better off
searching the
Danielle,
This is very cool. Did you have anymore stray thoughts about where
you might have seen or read this? For many of us early sorts,
pockets can be a mild obsession.

Well, they were in use in the 16th century, I can't remember the
exact reference off the top of my head but there is a court mention
of Anne Boleyn using pockets but it is the only one I know of, of
women in England using them that early. Might have been part of her
trial? Sorry, my memory
I wonder if pockets were not earlier as you can find on some 14th century
outer garments with slits on the sides, sometimes embroidered. I was once
told that they were for warming the hands but because of the cuffs that
extended on some of the garments I am inclined to believe that the slits
were
Speaking of pockets, does anyone know when the inside breast pockets
seen on men's jackets/coats were first introduced?

Hi
When did the tie on pockets come into use? i know they are 18th
century, but am drawing a blank on how early they where worn. Or
perhaps the question should be when did the pouch get replaced by the
pair of pockets, worn under the 'dress'?
Thanks
Carol
Off the top of my head, much earlier than the 18th c. See the
Alessandro Alliori frescoes in the Chiusa Sta Maria Nuova, Florence,
1570s and a second group in the 1590s. Another set of his frescos
showing a gal putting up her hair, in the PItti Palace, are c1588.

There's pictures of them in Mode e Firenze (known around here as the
Elenor of Toledo book), and I believe one of the Spanish museums has a
couple dating from the early 16th cen.

I wear a pocket in that style (with my own design of embroidery) with my 1640s
outfit, because I like them and it doesn't show, but I, too, understood that
they were really 18th century. I thought I had read that 17th century ones were
plain.
