EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century bridegroom's costume from Parkano, Finland, showcases the elegant fashion of the time. The knee breeches, a key component of the male folk costume during this era, were made from various materials such as chamois, wadmal, broadcloth, or linen. In this instance, the breeches are made of a rich, heavy fabric. The value of the garment was determined by the number and material of the fastenings, which in this case are represented by brooches. The breeches are accompanied by a richly pleated shirt with cuffs, a red waistcoat, and a cap. The waistcoat and cap add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic outfit. The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki houses this precious piece of history, providing a glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the past. The late 18th century was a time of grandeur and opulence, and this costume from Parkano beautifully embodies the elegance and sophistication of the era. The intricate details of the brooches and the rich fabric of the waistcoat add to the overall allure of the outfit. The knee breeches were a staple in European fashion during the 18th century, and this Finnish example is a testament to the enduring influence of this style. The National Museum of Finland's collection of historical costumes is a valuable resource for those interested in fashion history and the cultural traditions of Europe and Finland during this period.
