16th Century Clothing

16th Century Pouch

This purse made by James is inspired by historical remains and the drawing "A Nuremburg woman in house dress" by Albrecht Dürer, c. 1500-1501. The backing is a 4oz cowhide, the front of the pouch and pouchlets are 2 oz goatskin. The leather was embossed by hand.

Baron Jürgen van der Vols - Upperclass German (2-08)

Baron Jürgen is the new Baron of Ponte Alto in Atlantia (SCA in Northern VA). The doublet and gown are made by James. The outfit is based off patterns of like doublets with some slight alterations to get the look seen in artwork of the time. The hat is of my own design based of period art.

Kevin Houghton's Outfit (2002)

This project was done a while back, sometime in 2002. Kevin is wearing a pair of paned slops, they are red cotton brocade for the back of the pane and the underneath and black cotton brocade on the outside, and the interior lining is black linen. The jerkin is the same black and red brocades with a white fake lace trim and a dark blue-gray silk lining. I will later finish the outfit with a matching red brocade doublet.

The jerkin was made from an altered version of the Period Patterns "Dashing Doublets". The panned slops were made from a pattern in Janet Arnold's book "Patterns of Fashion: The Cut and Construction of Clothes for Men and Women C1560-1620".
