Other than the chainmail coif and mantle, my favorite garment in “Accolade” is the tunic the boy is wearing. Also the one Charleton Heston wore in “Warlord.” Would those be OK for 1140 in England? Also, if you are wearing a nice dress (something that would look good at court) …

I don’t think I’ve written about this yet, but I stumbled across a very interesting book called “Russian Applied Art of Tenth-Thirteenth Centuries” by B. A. Rybakov, Published by Aurora Art Publishers, Leningrad, no date given (1970’s?). It is 128 pages long and has 161 color and black and white …
I know that set-in sleeves are the ones which attach at the shoulder. What’s the term for sleeves which attach at the bicep? Are any other sleeve types period for 12th C? (I’ve seen garments where the sleeves attach at the neck). Does anyone have sources for which side of …

Original subject line: “Something new on 12th century jewelry (long)” I have just got in on inter-library loan a wonderful book called Mediaeval European Jewellery, by Ronald W. Lightbown, which has been the subject of discussion on one of my other lists. It is published by the Victoria and Albert …
… the only material that I can find to make a surcote with is only 3 and some yards long; thus the question about fur tops. Since that doesn’t look to be period for me, that’s out. Katrine, if that’s enough to make the cote you mentioned, that would be …
I have two questions: One, when did particolor come into vogue? Is it period for the 12th-13th centuries? Two, anyone that has Period Patterns 21 (14th and 15th century cotehardies and sideless surcoates), can you look at it and tell me if either the View IV or V surcoats might …
[re: participating in a medieval fair] Soapmakers were in a Guild, so I thought I’d have a sign that says “Soap Guild” or something similar to decorate the stand and explain what I am doing/who I am. Do you know what style of lettering would be appropriate? There are quite …
