EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and feast your eyes on this image showcasing the intricate and decorative attire of men during the 16th and 17th centuries, specifically during the era of the Landsknechts. Dating back to circa 1530, this photograph print offers a glimpse into the rich and ornate fashion of the past. The Landsknechts were a distinctive group of mercenary soldiers, renowned for their elaborate and distinctive uniforms. The form of decorative slashing seen in this image was a popular technique used to adorn their clothing, adding a visually striking element to their appearance. The men in this photograph are dressed in a variety of garments typical of the time. The peascod-bellied doublet, with its distinctive full, rounded shape, is a clear indication of the fashion trends of the 16th century. Petticoat breeches, a type of tight-fitting breeches gathered into a full, pleated skirt, are also featured. Cross-gartering, a method of securing stockings with garters that crisscrossed the thighs, was a common practice during this time period. Jerkins and copotains, both short jackets, are also depicted in this image. The jerkin was a close-fitting, sleeveless jacket, while the copotain was a longer jacket with sleeves. The men in this photograph are also wearing hats, adding a final touch to their elaborate ensembles. This photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of men's fashion during the 16th and 17th centuries, a time of opulence and creativity. The intricate details and rich textures of the clothing showcase the craftsmanship and artistry of the time, making this an essential addition to any collection of historical fashion imagery.
