A knight couldn’t wear a heavy suit of armour all the time. So what did he wear when he was off the battlefield and how did the clothing of the people around him reflect their social status? In this episode, Jason explores how clothes changed through the Middle Ages and how the fashion industry arguably evolved out of trade along the Silk Road.

I went to school in Malaysia for a couple of years and I was given the choice of long pants or shorts. I chose long. On my first day of school all the kids said “wow you must be very rich”. I wasnt ( by western standards) so I said “no, I’m not rich, why do you say that.”. They”because you have longs pants - you can afford the extra fabric”. So it’s just the same centuries later in some places.

The "wild men" incident (my teacher used to call it "the dance of fireflies", not sure where it comes from) happened to Charles VI. of France and it was allegedly one of the reasons why he lost his marbles. Edit: Googled that later. Yes, its called the "ball of burning men" (Bal des Ardents), but honestly, "the dance of fireflies" is almost sadistically poetic.

Good quality wool is wonderful stuff. The really good stuff will float. It will still keep you warm when its wet, IF it still has its lanolin. Living and working on the damp cold north west coast of British Columbia, good quality heavy wool clothing was a valuable thing to have. Wool was one of the products that went from west to east along the silk roads.

Good quality wool floats, I didn’t know that. I’ve read elsewhere about the relatively high number of Tudor period women drowning was due to women going to rivers to draw water and wash clothes. If they slipped in their heavy woollen clothes weighed them down so that they couldn’t scramble out. Lucy Worsley tried recreating it and found it plausible. Both things could be true

Not really, it is a particular bad video and what makes it even worse is that so many people seem to think this is valid and historically correct. He doesn't narrow the topic down to a specific region and time period. The knights of Burgundy in the late 15th century would have dressed completely different compared to the Norman Knight in the early 12th century for example. He also doesn't show any examples of pictures of knights (for example Morgan Picture Bible or any other iconography). He doesn't even give any sources for his claims. I am sorry if you thought this video was legit

Great video- I am new to re-enacting Medieval but have 26 years of experience in the Civil War re-enactment fields, and I am enjoying your vids. Our ancestors were intelligent when it came to keeping warm, and keeping cool. Wool breathes, even in the hottest weather. So does linen. They wore fashion as they found it attractive at the time. We cannot judge by modern standards when we have unlimited fabrics to choose from, and they did not. They had use what was available.

@Zultma 5 лет назад

Another superb video! This channel should be mandatory to watch in all schools! It's funny to think about fashion today, compared to back then. If I'm honest, I think we're being even more ridiculous today, and the reason is very simple. In the Middle Ages, the cloth might vary in color and material, but the shapes remained -broadly- the same. Today however, when you watch the fashion shows, and what people wear on the catwalks, even the very shape and size of the clothings, seems incredibly excessive. I imagine 'fancy clothing' back then, was still more practical than fancy clothing today.

The sumptuary laws were adopted to prevent people who were wealthy (usually from trade) from imitating the clothing of the hereditary nobility. Keep in mind that the nobility had a prominent role in governing the kingdom because they participated in the heriditary legislative bodies which adopted laws and levied taxes. (In England, the House of Lords, which had a veto on legislation and tax laws until around 1905.) The sumptuary laws restricted wearing certain fabrics and furs to different levels in society, with wearing the richest and most costly to royalty. As noted, rich traders and merchants who could afford to do so often dressed above their social status. Keep in mind that knights were not "nobles," which in the UK, are dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts and barons, who sat in the House of Lords. Knights were fighting men who fought during wars, were often the offspring of noble families, and many were elected to the House of Commons. Children of the monarchs often received noble titles, which is why Princes William and Harry are now dukes.

@bcaye 3 года назад

@Vergilius Brutus, perhaps partly accurate, but it had more to do with how clothing was worn and the gay thing sounds made up. Tights at the time were not all of one piece. There were two pieces, one for each leg, joined at the rear usually with laces. So in the front the only covering for the genitalia was linen underpants. I imagine that would feel very vulnerable. It's certain that as shorter tunics came into style men just wanted to have a bit more protection in that area. There was a period when some men sported oversized codpieces, the equivalent of padded bras or putting produce in your pants.

I mean, that animation was probably nothing to him, but for any one of us, it would cost more than we make in a month, and would be impossible to actually be able to pull off financially. And all that armor and weaponry he has probably cost several hundreds of thousands of dollars combined, and any ordinary person wouldn't be able to have but a fraction of it. The fact that he has all of those cool toys is such a treat for us, as we get to take part in it and really see it for ourselves. And it's not just an expert who has borrowed an expensive and historically accurate piece of gear showing it to us; it's a man who owns it and regularly uses it, knows about all it's strengths and flaws and can tell us how it is to own and operate it long term.

@caroleecochard9123 3 года назад

It was Charles VI and indeed this poor king had mental issues. He suffered hallucinations and once attacked and killed 4 of his guardsmen. After that episode he was in depression (as we would say now) and to entertain him, his wife (Isabeau de Bavière) regularly organized banquets and parties. And that event occurred during one of these bals (organized for the wedding of one of the Queen's lady in waiting). In French we call it "Le bal des ardents".

I am more comfortable in my 13th to 14th century garb than I am in 21st century clothing...except for scrubs. Medical scrubs are very comfortable.

@ExUSSailor 5 лет назад

I used to wear late Viking/early Norman period garb as part of my impression, and, it was absolutely more comfortable than modern clothes. I used to go back to work on a Monday, after a weekend event, and, putting my work uniform on made me feel claustrophobic.

@maryellencook9528 5 лет назад

@@ExUSSailor I agree 100% on the claustrophobic effect of modern clothing. During the winter time I will sleep in my cotton chemise that I've had for over 25 years. It was made by a dear friend of mine who introduced me into the SCA and has since passed away. I also have some Viking barb that I find very comfortable.

@maryellencook9528 5 лет назад

That should have been garb not barb.

I'm a software engineer... I'm not sure they would kick me out if I showed up in 13th century garb every day. Nobody commented on a guy that showed up in mismatched Crocks every day. So long as I can work in them, they don't care what I wear. I'm sure that some folks would think it's really cool too.

Now if that ain't a wonderful outfit Jason is wearing. Just by looking at it you can tell that the clothes (the tunic and the blue gugel) are comfortable and well made.

I think this is a very interesting topic! I'm having trouble finding references to make pants (or at least whatever covered the bottoms) of the Middle Ages. I'm looking into a fantasy costume to wear, but I like "realistic" fantasy. I like practicality and I wouldn't mind some historical background. Anyone got any good sources for me to check out?
