Happy i discovered this Channel, this early!👏🏻 I really appreciate the format, great and in-depth research at the beginning and then a proper construction sequence, which we all need sometimes! 😅 Overall this channel is really what i needed, as im building up my own kit!
Really good video and experiment ! But by my experience, I sew wool with wool thread on early medieval garments. So, it's means by hand. But I found that it keeps the stretch property of wool and in the end, garments are more beautiful.
Nice video. I apreciate the time you take to show the sources etc. You really should hand stitch the whole Thing. U pick up speed fast and end up beating the machine in time saved from preparing the upper and over threat, changing spools and so on. Big fan of your channel
Don't EVER use your cooking pots or utensils for dyeing. Once they've been used for dyeing, that's it, they belong to the dye kit. A lot of dyestuffs are poisonous, and the mordants can be pretty nasty stuff too. To avoid giving yourself respiratory problems, wear a mask when using powders and, if possible, work outside or at the very least with an extractor fan going.
I've found some really helpful things thus far on your channel and will be soon be trying them. My purpose with tailoring is ultimately to phase out most or all modern store-bought garments, i.e. anything that I haven't made, myself. Thanks for your direct and clear presentations.
I'm very surprised at the depth of the brown the fabric took on - and watching you put them together was fascinating. I wonder if these would have ever been worn under the bigger balloon type pants you made, as these do look like lady's thigh stocks even with the fasters attaching the tops so they don't fall - I was thinking they could be removed without taking the over-pants off if you were working and got hot.
So there's a separate belt for the braes? They don't attach to the one around the tunic? Maybe a dumb question and I'm probably butchering the proper terminology but I'm curious and I know f#ck all about medieval clothing design lol. I'm a visual learner so just reading about it doesn't really do much for me. I like to dabble in concept/character design and I love how Warhorse tried to be historically accurate in Kingdom Come Deliverance. Cool video though, new to your channel, this is my first from yours. **Watching the braes video now, makes more sense. Probably should have watched that first but like I said I'm clueless.
