  • Dress Like a Pilgrim a Procurement Guide by Mayflower Guard
    DRESS LIKE A PILGRIM A Procurement Guide SEPTEMBER 29, 2018 THE MAYFLOWER GUARD General Society of Mayflower Descendants Dress Like a Pilgrim A Procurement Guide By Mayflower Guard As James Baker, noted Pilgrim historian, points out in his recent article in the Mayflower Journal 1 there is a major image problem associated with what clothing and apparel Pilgrims wore. The image of black clothing, buckles and blunderbusses persist in the public mind. To overcome this misperception and to assist in this effort to change public perceptions, the donning of appropriate garments representing what the Pilgrims actually wore should be a major objective for the commemoration of the 1 Baker, James W., Pilgrim Images III, Mayflower Journal Vol. 2, No. 1 [2017], pp 7-19 1 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower. We the Mayflower descendants need to Dress Like a Pilgrim and wear Pilgrim Appropriate Apparel (PAA). So, what did Pilgrim men and women wear? Fabrics In 17th Century England and in the Netherlands, there were two basic fabrics that were used for clothing, wool and linen. There was combination of wool and linen know has fustian corduroy that was also used, however finding this fabric today is almost impossible. Cotton while available was very rare and very expensive in the early 17th century. Colors We know that the Pilgrims wore a variety of colors in their clothing from probate records where the color of various clothing items were mentioned including the colors violet, blue, green.1,2 The color red was also listed. However, the reds that were used in the early 17th century were more of a brick red and a matter red which is a little more orange in nature than modern reds.

  • European-Womens-Short-Cloaks-Of
    Introduction to European Women’s Short Cloaks of the 16th and Early 17th Centuries Annaka Poznanska Dragon’s Laire Scholar 2021 mka: Anita Taylor [email protected] 206.369.2231 EUROPEAN WOMEN’S 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY SHORT CLOAKS 2 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to introduce the short cloak as worn by 16th and early 17th century women. The paper begins with a brief history of the short cloak prior to the 16th century. It continues with an overview of short cloaks by selected geographic region, comparing visual characteristics from period art and period tailor’s patterns, for both women and men. This paper does not contain information about ecclesiastical cloaks or other cloak-like vestments worn by priests, nuns, and other members of religious orders during this time period. EUROPEAN WOMEN’S 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY SHORT CLOAKS 3 Introduction My goal for this research was to learn about women’s short cloaks in this time period, and to start adding them to my SCA wardrobe. I was inspired by a class that I took: Master Charles de Bourbon’s Fur Master Class, as well as my desire to reproduce this stunning Hungarian 16th century silk fur-lined short cloak and matching gown. Figure 1: Hungarian 16th century fur-lined cloak with matching gown. EUROPEAN WOMEN’S 16TH AND 17TH CENTURY SHORT CLOAKS 4 A Brief History of the Short Cloak from Prehistoric Times through the 15th Century People in the European medieval world believed that the beginning of human existence, and the beginning of clothing, takes place in the Biblical account of God creating the first outer clothes for Adam and Eve from animal skins.

    Passion for Fashion (103) Mon, 20th Nov 2017 GMT/BST Lot 101 Estimate: £40000 - £60000 + Fees A rare crimson velvet jerkin, circa 1610-25, short-waisted with slight graduation to front, the shoulder wings and hem with tabbed edges adorned with wine silk and gold thread plaited braid, the graduated stand collar interlined with heavy buckram, the main jerkin interlined with natural un-bleached linen, curved back seams and two lines of braid to the back, silver-gilt wrapped acorn shaped buttons, the hem tabs and collar lined in crimson silk, chest 102cm, 42in; together with purpose-made mount (2) An additional 5% VAT is payable on the hammer price, this can be refunded if proof of export outside the EU is provided within 6 months of the sale date. Provenance: The Helen Larson Private Collection Published: The Journal of the Costume Society, no 5, 1971, 'A Study of Three Jerkins' by Janet Arnold - the renowned scholar of early dress. Few specimens of late 16th or early 17th century costume survive. The jerkin as a garment was worn to protect the rich doublet worn below, and to provide extra warmth or protection. Utilitarian or military examples were made in leather - but this example in the finest Italian velvet must have belonged to a man of great wealth and importance. The shortness of the waist and slightly curved silhouette served to emphasise the well-rounded belly of its owner - a desirable fashionable attribute in the early 17th century. Records suggest that the piece was acquired by Helen Larson from a dealer in Connecticut in 1968 but no earlier provenance has been found..

  • The Details of English Fashions of the Sixteenth Century: Men's Clothing
    The Details of English Fashions of the Sixteenth Century: Men’s Clothing Examined by Decade by Margaret Roe Also published online at http://www.margaretroedesigns.com/fashions.html © 2010 1 Overview 1500s Shirts, cuffs and collars The shirt of the 1500s was full in the body, gathered into the neckline, sometimes with a narrow collar and sometimes into a scoop-neckline. The sleeves are unseen, but are probably either gathered into a small cuff or simply hemmed. Blackwork is not yet seen at the edges of men's shirts. Breeches Breeches of this decade continued to be the joined hose and codpiece of the fifteenth century. Doublets and jerkins Both doublets and jerkins are worn at this time. The doublet usually had a narrow standing collar, no more than 1" high, whereas the jerkin had a low, round neckline. Both had long skirts, extending to the knees, and both were simplify trimmed. Sleeves Sleeves are often difficult to see under the overgown, but appear to be of two common styles: either narrow but loose sleeves, or narrow to just above the elbow and full to the shoulder, possibly stuffed or padded to maintain a full shape. Sleeves usually matched the doublet or jerkin and were probably sewn into it. Over garments Finally, overgowns are seen in most portraits. These gowns fall either to mid-calf or to the ankles. They most often have very full, long sleeves, but occasionally, the sleeves are only elbow-length or are turned back over the elbows. The collar is turned back around the neck to reveal a different colored lining, which was sometimes fur.

  • Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth Mcfadden a Dissertatio
    Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland By Elizabeth McFadden A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art and the Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair Professor Todd Olson Professor Margaretta Lovell Professor Jeroen Dewulf Fall 2019 Abstract Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth McFadden Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair My dissertation examines painted representations of fur clothing in early modern England and the Netherlands. Looking at portraits of elites and urban professionals from 1509 to 1670, I argue that fur dress played a fundamentally important role in actively remaking the image of middle- class and noble subjects. While demonstrating that fur was important to establishing male authority in court culture, my project shows that, by the late sixteenth century, the iconographic status and fashionability of fur garments were changing, rendering furs less central to elite displays of magnificence and more apt to bourgeois demonstrations of virtue and gravitas. This project explores the changing meanings of fur dress as it moved over the bodies of different social groups, male and female, European and non-European. My project deploys methods from several disciplines to discuss how fur’s shifting status was related to emerging technologies in art and fashion, new concepts of luxury, and contemporary knowledge in medicine and health.

  • The Contexts of Religion and Violence
    Journal of Religion & Society Supplement Series 2 The Kripke Center 2007 The Contexts of Religion and Violence Edited by Ronald A. Simkins Prophecy, Purity, and Progress Religion and Violence in the Conquest of America Tracy Neal Leavelle, Creighton University Introduction [1] Recently I spent an afternoon in an antique store rifling through bins of old magazine images and advertisements when I came across a strange and fascinating illustrated poem from a 1938 Saturday Evening Post. Although I had never heard of the author, Douglas McClure Anderson, the three-part poem and the accompanying images were too interesting to pass up, so I purchased it and took it home to ponder its significance. [2] The piece is titled “The Pilgrimage of Grace, Retrospect from the Plaza at Santa Fe, New Mexico, 1938.” The first part of the poem reads: This is the way the wagons came From Cumberland and Burlingame, From Broken Butte and Genesee, And Kingdom City, Tennessee. This was the way the trail was won: With carpetbag and buffalo gun, 14 The Contexts of Religion and Violence With King James Bible and blacksnake quirt, And buckskin jerkin and crinoline skirt. This was the way a people came To the pueblo of St. Francis’ name In the valley of the Rio Grande, Seeking a second Promised Land. This was the trail of destiny To those whom the Lord gave liberty. Although these lines hardly represent the highest achievement in American verse, the simple poetic style actually distills in a concentrated manner a common and rather complex American ideology of conquest.
