CLOTHINGI n t h e M e d i e v a l T i m e s
TailoringFor wealthy people, most of their clothing was created by
tailors. But most of the population made their own
clothing. They favored certain fabrics like burnet, perse,
lincoln scarlet, russet, kersey, chalons, damask, and sandal.
ShoemakersPeople who were shoemakers often wore borealis hats, along with their spouse. They would
wear woolen coats that had fur-trimmed sleeves. On the inside
of the coats was a woolen doublet.
Royalty Clothing/FriarsKings and Queens would wear
brightly colored silks and crowns. They wore the most
expensive clothing that anyone could buy. Friars wore cloaks with habits and hoods, and a
rope belt with wooden beads for counting prayers.
PeasantsPeasants wore brown jackets
and felt hats with stirrups. They would make their own straw
hats, linen shirts, leather flasks, pants, and pewter badges. That
is what their daily wear consisted of.
Men’s and Woman’s clothing based on their jobs and social ranking.
Depending on your job and social ranking of the people, the types of clothing
varied throughout the town. There was a distinguished look of the upper class
and middle class. You could tell which person was in what class just by looking at
the clothes they wore. Knights wore sleeveless surcoats covered with a coat of
arms. Barbarian nomads would wear clothing made of things like fur, wool, and leather. They would wear long trousers and fine leather shoes. People who were
more fortunate in society would most likely wear imports like silks and turbans.
Clothing for men varied throughout the middle ages. Loose and tight tunics were
worn. Undershirts, briefs with sleeveless jackets, stockings, and cloaks all were the
main types of clothing that men would wear. Women did
not have that big of a variety for clothing.
Kirtles(Tunics worn to your ankles) were a popular
choice of clothing. But women that were more
affluent tended to wear more luxurious
clothing. Married women would wear tight-fitting caps with nets over their hair. Most
unmarried women wore either loose or tightly
braided veils.
