German Men's Fashion in the Year 1400 - Ornate Super-Tunics, Chain Mail, and Buskins
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the medieval era, specifically the year 1400, showcasing the fashion trends of German men during this time. The ornately patterned, short, sleeveless super-tunics worn in this period are a sight to behold. These super-tunics were designed to be worn over doublets and chain mail, providing both style and protection. The intricate patterns adorning the tunics are a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail during this period. The use of bold geometric shapes, intricate floral motifs, and rich colors reflects the artistic and cultural influences of the time. Footwear during this era was equally impressive, with men wearing buskins or soled hose. Buskins were high boots that reached up to the knee, while soled hose were hose with thick, reinforced soles. These shoes were essential for protecting the feet during long hours of travel or labor. The headdresses of these German men were equally noteworthy, with hoods or caps being the most common choices. A pouch and cloak, secured with a brooch, completed the look. The brooch served not only as an accessory but also as a practical fastener for the cloak. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich and intriguing world of medieval German fashion. The ornate costumes, chain mail, buskins, and accessories all contribute to a stunning visual representation of this fascinating historical period.
