Most common types of MEDIEVAL CLOTHES or garments: MEDIEVAL MISCONCEPTIONS

before we begin I want to tell you about a YouTube channel which I think you'll really enjoy it's named after the host Daniel Greene and it's all about fantasy ok fantasy books what's happening in fantasy general fantasy reviews breakdowns summaries deep dives all the really really great things he has this awesome series called fantasy news where he actually keeps you updated on a wide breadth of many things happening in the fantasy world in media generally because there's a lot of other channels that talk about movies specifically Daniel he looks at anything as in fantasy whether it's books movies TV shows authors comic books adaptations if it's fantasy he is your man and he's really funny as well so his presentation is fun entertaining and he is also very insightful on top of that with his reviews as well so please go check him out give him a subscribe because it's definitely all worth it I'm subscribed love is content and I think you will as well [Music] greetings I'm shad and in this video is my intention to try and break down some of the classic types of medieval garments so you can know and have a bit of a reference that you can look at as to what are they called because that's actually been a difficult thing for me to figure out over the years of my medieval interest because there's a couple of going through things that people are like our tunics tunics cloaks arm and sir coats to bard fit cuz we see him in fantasy I have a whole video on the barge by the way where it does not mean what they think it means I want to do the quote from printers right that's a tablet give you Center for what you think it means anyway that's a good video okay but you see a wide range when I say wide it's actually more specific that I've been out to discover then you might suppose I with actual specific names but the tricky thing is what I have also found is that a lot of these names have a decent amount of overlap where one garment could easily be identified as one or the other and I'm going to go into that try to share some of the specifics and also some of the confusion as to what might overlap and perhaps points of distinction that we can make now the purpose of this video is to talk about garment specifically things that you wear over your arms and chest and not hat ok had so their own fashion thing in the medieval period not talking about boots either ok these are primary garments under garments main garments and the outer garments as well out of garments like coats and things what are they called and I'll try and share where you find them in things and so we'll start with the undergarment and honestly you could just call it data ok here's call that an undergarment but another word is shirt yes and shirts did exist the medieval period more often than not ok especially in the early medieval period shirts were an undergarment and they were a bit long but the shirt is specifically something that you wear on your skin and it's the thing that's going to get the most smelly and dirty because it's on the skin picking up all the skin particles of things and sweat and the oils and things and so you would wear that in between that and your main garment so you wouldn't have to watch wash the main one as much now the other thing about the shirt being the undergarment is that if they're short they can be short they can be longer it varies ok you would wear it underneath because your main garment a lot of the you know medieval period is going to be longer I have a whole video just sharing the funny fact that what we would identify as dresses is in the modern day are actually unisex they were not identified to any particular sex for the large majority thereof absolutely were fashion differences between men and women in the medieval period but the length of the garment wasn't actually one of them for a large portion okay so what's a video on the details there but having a long gum and actually served a functional purpose in the medieval period and that's the matter of keeping in heat okay especially if you lay it up with pants on top of that it would keep you decently warm and there's I forget the guy made the video watch it a long time ago but he does survival things and he tried wearing a medieval tunic in the snow and he found that it actually served really well to keep him warm it was made out of world that things also serve to keep you warm but because it was longer and trying to trap the heat in even better so that's actually one of the reasons why even for guys a decent number of the garments were longer but there's actually some other interesting reasons as well and this is something that I've neglected to mention in the other video but I think it's also really significant to mention as to why dresses or dress like garments people say robes I've got to talk about the robe dress you know comparison just in sick but that dress like garments were also worn by men and women and that's because they're actually can fit a larger range of sizes pants to work functionally generally need to be tighter fit and if they're not tight they're gonna fall down which means you need a belt to hold them up you don't need to do that with a garment that's dress like you slip your arms through hangs down and it will fit a wider range of sizes and I even found that recently in my other video where I'm actually wearing I call it a circle and by medieval definitions it is a type of circuit I'll give you the details when we're going through the specific garments bit later on in the video but people who are watching a video said shed you shouldn't really call that a dress that is clearly a robe okay it's made to fit a guy it's a robe that there's a funny thing about that it's my wife's dress and I'm not kidding okay I don't know where to buy something like that I needed a dress like thing and my wife bought several medieval dresses from arm Street for the abbey medieval festival that we went to so I went to my wife and asked her which is the one that is the most unisex one that she has that is not really made for you know does the frills of attachments for vinasaya others is this one and I put it on and actually fit really well and that's the interesting thing about just as being more unisex as because that's really there's a big difference in height between me and my wife if I could still wear that not a problem in fact it that might be why people thought it looked more robe like because it wasn't dragging along the ground and if you want to know one of the distinctions for a dress like garments to help to identify it in the medieval period for a man or a woman is if it you know dragged along the ground and of course that was also a sign of you know a wealth as well because we got forward address draggin all agree on generally means you weren't traveling through mud and other stuff and you wouldn't want to go to work in something I was dragging along the ground as well and so because I'm taller than my wife the her dress actually was a bit higher people looking as like that's a robe that's what I mean about the robe dress comparison is that the only way you could then make a distinction is by the gender wearing it not the cut or fit of the actual garment itself because when you look at these artworks and everything like that the cut and fit that is a dress by our modern standards but of course in the medieval period they didn't think of it as a gendered type of garment so you could call them roids if they're on men and dresses bad going to the root word dress okay dress originally just by the different ways in which we use the word we can understand must have been a unisex term because what do we say when you are putting clothes on you are getting what you are getting dressed okay and we say that for men and for women you are now dressed or you're going to go get dressed you're in your formal dress okay formal dress is required and that can be used to refer to men and women but sometimes just say formal attire instead of formal dress but sorry that we still use a dress in a unisex term to imply that the original use of the term dress was also unisex okay it's only when as things progressed women were often wore dress like garments men less so and I actually think that perhaps comes down to work okay who's out in the fields work and what women worked in the fields as well a lot in the medieval period but when it comes to really hard manual labor guys are the ones who always end up doing that and dresses can we can see getting away you don't want a large piece of material getting caught in something parents getting associated with hard heavy labor and of course that then gets associated with men and dresses being associated with women as well so we see a distinction as time progresses but medieval period very much the same now with all that you know interesting discussion let's talk about the specific talked about the shirt and the shirt could be long also short all right it was in the medieval period if you were wearing just a shirt you know be like wearing a singlet I would say in the modern day it's not like people would say why are you wearing your underwear you technically would be but you could wear it on a hot day just your shirt and you'll be fine and that is still medieval dress now for a longer okay undergarment that is meant to be worn on this skin that would be called a chemise now a chemise in the modern day is distinctly a female undergarment because it's a dress but guys career as well if they wanted a particularly long one on top of that and yeah that is called a chemise now the words that I'm using right at the moment some are clearly based on certain cultures like there are French words all right and these are then have been adopted into other language that we now use them in the modern day and I don't know what these items of clothing could have been called in different cultures now most likely would have been called the same in say English because English adopts a lot of French Greek I like this combination but if you're looking at like what these things would have been called in the Germanic regions of medieval Europe probably most likely a very different word I don't know what they are I just know the words that we ended up using adopting in English and that's what I can share with you because I believe chemise is also written at that quote I die there are some words an old French to me is I actually don't know sounds French to anyone I hear but anyway so the next garment I'll talk about after these two undergarments that I've just mentioned is the tunic now before I get on to tunics the idea of again you could technically call a lot of these ones down to the tunic is a type of gown but gown is a gendered word now we you know generally he when he again we here we think of interest or something that I you know a woman would wear and so I'll just use garment yeah and the next garment is tunic tunic is a very broad term okay and and you know long-sleeve short-sleeve knee-length ankle-length okay lot of different overlap buttoned unbuttoned yeah that's where we come to the first bit of distinction from my research it seems tunics most often no buttons okay if it has buttons you would generally call it something else there is overlap and and this is the confusing part but okay so truenicks are fairly well understood if it only comes down to here we wouldn't generally call it a tunic would call it a shirt wouldn't we did they do that in the medieval period I don't know it's really hard to find out but if we're adapting it into the modern day I think that's a perfectly fine distinction so far things have been fairly straightforward and understandable but now we're getting to one of the more I wouldn't say exotic because this is very much you know European history but it's exotic in the sense that it's a word not many people really know and identify I mentioned in the other video and I said I didn't know how to pronounce it and I'm very grateful with people sharing with me how it is pronounced I pronounced a blonde because it's like spelt with a T but no they said shad is pronounced Leon that sounds like a very fresher it is Leon they believe on it's awkward for you to say it and it's hard to me really like what the plural of Leon Leon but you're all plie Juliet's actually easy for me to say bronze or something clad so I'm probably gonna be throwing that T in just from the help of my own pronunciations because then I can add an S for plural blond blintz I don't know so anyway this is tricky because I can share you examples what comes up as you know historically what is it Billy on but there's another garment that this one has a lot of overlap there are so some that have such overlap that you could almost call it a bullion or this other one and you wouldn't really have an issue and that is the hole and now it strictly with these terms you can will come up and you can find Wikipedia articles it gives you a basic breakdown but they're not detailed enough and it's hard to find really good information then you find conflicting information but you go online your search of Leon or you search a Upland and they and the garment comes up which almost looks identical to what someone else caught that like they're saying this is a Upland but that's what that looked identical to ably on and so there is a lot of clear overlap but there were some trends that I was noticing in my research the Holland seemed more often to be an outer garment a type of coat that yield wore we're sorry when you're going out into the elements and things keep yourself really this is your overcoat okay whereas the blue on looked like a primary garment okay now difference between a blue on and a tunic and this applies to the Hope hland is the size of the sleeves one of the distinction between the Hulland and the billion it looks like more hope lens or represented having longer sleeves and I say oh I mean really long both these garments Leone and the Hope 'land are unisex worn by both men and women but when you get later into the middle period so we're talking about the 15th century they're more seams it seemingly identified with female toe accounts all of the female variants had very feminine distinct features low-cut pronouncing the bust really really long arms and the ones that the guys wearing less guys wearing them towards the end of the medieval period and the arms weren't huge one but there are examples of guys you know arms on these things really really long and so the primary distinction between the blonde and the hook lunge compared to the tunic is buttons down the front if it's buttoned up alright alright I'll fall into one of these categories with an exception because the the primary identify thing is the length of sleeves that have shorter sleeves and it's buttoned not metal buttons cloth buttons in the medieval period far more predominantly your like metal buttons of that's like a huge extravagance okay and it wasn't particularly on came down to say the fires better I here is horribly on as an article on there's another type of garment which I'll get to but the blue on on the hoplon doesn't necessarily need have a it could be no buttons but if it has those long sleeves and it's gone into the knee or all down to the ankles it's not a tunic more accurate to identified as ably all now again more distinctions between the blue on and the Hope 'ln like I said primary Garmin what does a primary garnet mean it's like not as many folds not as loosely fitting okay generally a bit tighter fit still longer sleeves that is the trend that I mean finding that helps me more distinct layer in the fire of Leon and the hope 'land is more swimming Morton you generally more folds more room underneath it's an overcoats very fashionable and sometimes both of these could be have you know full broke aids presenting really thin see in at times and let me just jump on the idea the notion that these fancy garments be on the hook lond the droop on I'll get to all these other ones debarred and everything were worn by higher-ups and the peasants were only restricted to tunics and that was it that's incorrect okay I and it doesn't take too much thinking to figure out because these are you know the medieval peasants they were resourceful they were industrious they worked hard okay and if they're in a position where they could make their own clothes which many could alright they knew how to work a loom they knew how to make cloth and they knew how to sew they could make clothing that reflected these other styles in actual fact ah gee when did I when did I come upon this research it was a more credible source and this is the thing I have like long research sessions where I'm reading all this stuff and generally I'm after one specific thing and I find all this other information while I'm looking for this thing and there's a bad habit I tend to just read past the things until I find what I'm after and I say the thing I'm after but I log away all these other things I've read but there are philosopher sources even though they're good credible I was like ah sometimes people I see shaking you she wasn't like I lost it I read it was good there like it was a good accurate one I just can't can't remember find where it came from okay and this is another one of those things or I've read an account again it's a good accurate account peasants wearing you know really fancy clothing and being mistaken as no woman and there are some instances and this is why it would be really sorry share in the comments if you know the specific one we're in one of the medieval kingdoms a country's might have been in England France or something some of the nobles outlawed peasants wearing certain types of clothing so they wouldn't be misidentified as noblemen okay futures no your station stays but what's really instructive about that is that that shows that peasants we're absolutely wearing fancy clothing when they were in them had their means to make it or purchase it okay just because you're a serf doesn't mean you can't get an income and I mentioned while I've got a serf video coming and that's that like I I've got more there's been more traction there I've got some academic papers I need time to have just read in depth because that's um and it's confirming my suspicions already these academic papers that we really misunderstand serfdom it's not like slavery they had a lot more freedoms than we and I think of when we hear the term serf and this is just another reference point that I found in multiple different you know studies of my interests and things of peasants so even serfs having being more educated having more freedom having more means and money than we think and I say they weren't rich obviously but they were rich enough to be artists what themselves adequately quite well and in some instances by really extravagant fancy clothing to the point that they were being mistaken as no woman and so we've just talked about the hall and the Hulland okay there is a type of garment that predates the whole in which is very Coupland like and this one is like is that a blonde or a hope one people say it's the version of the Hope 'land okay at the earlier version of Hope one but it looks very much like the blonde as well and that is their hairy got very good howdy good like how you spell it right there so like you could use that in lieu of these terms it's the Earl it's an earlier version if you google it you'll find some interesting hits and they just like Copeland Leon here you got I had to say so the blonde and the hope learn just another thing the length can be knee length to your ankle and conformation but if it's shorter I've never found any examples of either with these garments being waist length remember for a lot of reasons not just fashion that waist length garments weren't common the middle period except towards the very end of the medieval period there we find waist length garments but in the early medieval period I don't say early in middle this is the thing there is an incorrect notion that garments across the broad medieval period got shorter as the medieval period dress progressed and even I have said that and for general and primary garments there is some truth to it it's not wholly incorrect but the idea that full-length garments weren't warned in the later end of the medieval period that's incorrect okay there's a lot of our work an example showing full-length garments absolutely being worn some being overcoats okay we're not over armor like have a look at some of these images like these technically are at the very that very beginning of the Renaissance and so it's the transitional period they're like 15 oh something okay 1505 these pictures date two to 1550 at the very beginning of the Renaissance which means they blood over into the medieval period as well and so they're representative enough for the late medieval period garments will come on there and some have the split to present the codpiece but other are garments got really short to present the codpiece as well because the codpiece is one of those things fashionable things that came in in the medieval period so anyway going back to Hulland that's the matter about length now we can we want to the next garment which are very much the dress like garments that in the modern day if someone was wearing them in the Motte like today we would call them a dress and you know it would be very odd to see a guy wearing them and that is the kurtal and circuit yes the circuit the circuit is an interesting one as I mentioned my other video is because isn't that the garment nights were over there male yes but there is also a version of the circuit very common that people just wore casually as a primary garment when I say primary circuit is you know coat over top usually over top of a tunic or a chemise undergarment any number of things okay but the sir code is interesting because it is distinctly that the definition the difference between a circuit and a kernel is no sleeves when I say no sleeves like either the sleeves cut short or no sleeves at all there does seem to be a type of distinction between what you would more classically identify as a female type of sir code that I've not seen any kind of images and things of men wearing this type and that is the opening for the arms being really really long and open sometimes hanging down quite low even lower and sometimes even cutting in really kind of considerably on the side and then hanging down like they're wearing a weird type of apron only ever seeing women wearing that type of circuit and that is actually called a type a circuit okay and for other guys there is the nightly cut type of sir code and that you know if it hasn't split down the middle generally there for riding a horse but doesn't need to have a split down the middle to be considered a circuit it needs to be actually dressed like garment without sleeves okay that's a circuit and guys wearing them as well in the medieval period and the circuit generally an outer garment that you would wear or something else because it's not it doesn't have sleeves and sleeves keep you warm and so any type of garment that has sleeves would be something you wear as a primary garment usually because if it's hot I'm sure we're surcoat and be perfectly fine but more often than not you wear a tunic or a curtal underneath curdle is like your classic iconic medieval dress you could say worn both by men and women in the medieval period think defining a female curdle versus a male curl type of cut where it's tight where it's loose different things like that how low the cut is as well next garments interesting and before I go on to them I do want to say this isn't an exhaustive list unfortunately I still come across certain you know garments whereas like that doesn't look like it falls into the perfect categories and I don't know the name of them like certain types of dresses that were really low-cut that have certain you know things are frills at the top is it a hoop one but hopeless tend to be an outer garment that looked like a primary dress garment it's got the long sleeves would you call it a blue yarn it's hard to like dress but dress in the medieval term was a unisex term just meant clothing really and says like what do you call it you know I say if people know comment down below please yeah I could personally give us the most exhaustive comment with good sources of additional garments that I failed to mention in this video I'll pin that comment to the top and so hopefully there'll be something cool that you guys can go down and read and get further information on so the next one I'll mention is the gambeson now again Merson is armored I guess a type of textile armor padded but I was adopted and worn for a casual dress as well thin out because it became fashionable okay so I'm when people wear something enough and people see other people areas like I could see that looks pretty cool I'll wear it too just not going to war and things and sorry a gambeson has a lot of different cuts and variants okay it can be sleeved they can be unsaved as I'm wearing right here I'm wearing a nun sleeve one over it's a technically a tunic you could call it maybe a blue on out called the I'll call my you know anything about ever a hope 'land but puffy sleeve tunic is probably even more accurate because that's closed at the at the wrist wear blonds and hope lon seem to be open quite considerably at the wrists which is why it's probably better just called what I'm wearing underneath puffy sleeve tunic and yeah gambeson gambeson 's can be right down to your ankle or down to things they can be you know strapped up like with buttons or belts open or closed completely tell you lots of different variants the thing that would define a gambeson is if it's padding okay if it's padded of some kind it has little stitching to identify it because if it doesn't have that padded look it actually wouldn't be a gambeson you call it and tunic okay like for instance picture a circuit okay like what a night wears and replace it with a padded type of thing it suddenly is a gambeson even though it's got the same cut as a surcoat picture a tunic replace it with padding it's a gambeson now okay and so the Gamson is a more broader term that applies to lots of different cuts and types of outfits that's interesting because that seems to be another point of distinction for another type of garment that is though we kind of cross everything between armor and regular clothing and that is the ship on the ship on is a tricky thing to try and identify because when I see things called Rapunzel a certain you know versions I look at and say that's almost exactly what you would call it too bad debarred itself is very misunderstood I've already mentioned I have a video talking about details because in pop culture what people more often define or identify as it's bad is not at a bard it's actually what is called a monastic scapular a bit of the type of clay it's not actual clothing it's in outer kind of adornment really or a single strip of cloth that's that narrow doesn't go broad that's narrow and comes down to hang in front of you know your legs and behind that is a monastic scapular worn by you know monks in the medieval period but also worn by people as an official as that type of fashionable kind of addition and if it still carried certain religious significance I would assume it did and they're wearing it to you know present a type of religious devotion of some kind but I found to medieval artworks one on a guy one owner women and what they're wearing those a monastic scapular over regular dress okay and then don't look to me like monks so they were also worn those are not too bad okay and too bad is a type of outer gum this is an outer coat specifically all right that you would wear over top anything else without anything over on top of that generally they were warned to present a coat of arms okay our crest there see jewels and things a type of device in heraldry but one of the best examples of a proper Tabar or Tabard depending on how you pronounce it I say debarred I just I like the sound of it better maybe it's going Australian debarred tap it right is the ones that the three musketeers wore you know the the blue thing the three musketeers that's a property' bard okay doesn't need to have sleeves the Musketeers one don't they actually have slits on the opening and it comes through so they're flat so hang down on the sides but it doesn't need to have flaps and this is where the debarred I feel got confused with the monastic scapular because there are a version of Tabar that's just a front flap and a back flap but the distinction is that they wider they're almost bell-shaped they kind of come down and they're wide because they present the coat of arms and they only stop at about here I haven't found many no I haven't found any instances of a debarred going down to your shin or ankles the longest ones come down to your knees but most come down to about the thighs actually and so that's distinctly a debarred and can be worn in casual dress but also worn as a ding item to display heraldry symbols and devices now what's interesting about that is there are types of zoo ponds that look very much too barred like was just a front flap and a back flap and so yeah what's the difference this is the thing about the ship on the ship on can sometimes be somewhat gambeson like where you look at us like that that's Pat it that's a type of padded armor this is where the ship on ax is a type of armor French Knights did wear the shipowners additional type of layer of protection and sometimes not as protected although wear it over armor as just to make them look fancy and it looked great and the idea that when you wear full plate armor it's just you have to have the middle out no no in the middle period people loved decorating their armor so it wouldn't just be plain steel it actually seems either thing that wearing plain still seemed to be plain exactly that and they liked painting it they liked adorning it with gold you know inlays and things I had and they liked wearing clothing over top of it that look even better and so the types of clothing that they generally we're on top of armor oh I see you would Eve call a debarred or a ship on alright how do we get some distinction between the difference between the two if it's padded okay and acts as a type of armor seems like that is what people do more define as as open to bards from my you know analysis and study I didn't find any instances of people referring to them as a type of armor that's one distinction you can make there another distinction if they're open at the sides or closed it seems like if it's sewn in on the sides and it's actually a full garment that comes you know closed you're there that would then be a one whereas two bards more classically open have the front flap and the back flap so again good points of distinction though I have found ones that are closer open that have been called the other but I'm just going to go with those points of distinction there to help us know the difference the cool thing about japones is that there's many examples of them having these full broke aids and worn over armor and they just look stunning like just amazing now I there are other garments okay like these ones that these are portraits of Bavarian Jukes that date from like 1505 to 1550 around there and okay yeah there's rated for armor japón but man look at those puffy sleeves very distinct and iconic to late medieval period or early Renaissance and I'm sure there is a bavaria than the germanic must be I'm not very good with European geography my apologies it's probably a distinct name for that type of garment in the description if you know it okay cuz every great ad I just I couldn't couldn't find it because I I found images of this but you can't like do what does this image look like unless yeah so sometimes it's difficult to do the research so really cool but it is that does kind of fall into the upon family kind of garment there so I had a stretch you could call a puffy sleeves upon alright so dungeons your pawns in the bards next we're going to a very common type of clothing in late medieval period okay this is where we see the transition from the tunics getting a bit shorter so this type if if the cheek is getting to about you know knee height and is buttoned up it's not a tunic we would call it a cut to Hardy and I think that's a no I don't I'm pretty sure that's not how you pronounce it there's the word good too hard equip to her don't know but this so anyway I'm just gonna have to say it phonetically copter hard equip they're very common type of garment for late medieval period specifically and again this is where we see primary garments getting short our guys wearing pants far more often because they're wearing shorter kind of tops and this would be more distinctly identified as a male type of clothing and not a feminine type of clothing it's probably examples of women wearing him but more from that this is a guy and women more classically wearing dresses in this period and so the Cudahy dear okay size knees buttons specifically tight sleeves not puffy or big sleeves there might be examples let me know if you've seen them very common though very common and and so then the next one that will come to is a garment type of thing that people wore in late medieval period and Renaissance so people sometimes think this is only Renaissance I know it is also medieval and that is the doublet they had the doublet there are examples of it being a bit longer coming to the knees more classically they end up the waist all right this is where the doublet is one of the more classic medieval a medieval garments of rending at the waist this is when you know it really like guys wearing long outs still happened you need to understand that guys still wore really long garments in the late medieval period and early Renaissance and some look like to be who plunders and stuff like look at this you see doublets right and for when I say distinction between a dress and a robe to me a robe would be an I'll tear like the full most outer garment that you wear over sapience or anything like that I think you call those robes and so you could call many types of who plunders Copeland's ropes and they look like hope lenders and you calmer eyes or whatever but they still lock there so dressed like in that sense and so and these Bavarian Juke portraits those are pretty long as well so long garments till were around but also short ones here's being far more common for guys as well and another fashion accessory came to accompany these which also helped encourage either getting the garment short or if it was long having a split at the middle to present the codpiece is right the codpiece since this is the speaks about the idea of the aesthetic the fashion of the time and presenting the crotch for the guys was a sign of masculinity and strength okay it wasn't odd wasn't weird and so there are other things that are kind of crutch related in terms of fashion like the Bullock dagger it's a dagger that's made to look like a liar Shawn okay I'm old and up and I said that the Bullock is the word for balls all right it's a balls dagger Bullock dagger that's the most accurate translation you could make for it and wearing a dagger right in the middle right in the middle hanging down to kind of you know reflect something long and hanging in between your legs what is that supposed to indicate again it was a man so we see parallels of this this fashion concept or idea of the crotch being something worth presenting and I mean I kind of get it a girl's they get to show their cleavage they get to present that part of their Anatomy why kind of guys present their main that's good thing so we see other you know parts of fashion evolving to facilitate this kind of thing even if weren't wearing a codpiece that was huge or it was just a bulge they are even though just having that part open not open to you you'd still have something covering it of course but having that part you know presented short doublets openings at the front very interesting now there is a time of medieval clothing that I have actually not found any examples of them exist in the medical period there might be versions of armor and they were just called cure asses everything but what I'm referring to is the Gherkin okay the jerk it is usually a leather garments or it could be a cloth vest most of the time the jerk is always represented as being leather dress leather thin and if it was thick enough to function as armor it was probably just called a curious or something like that but the Gherkin from when I been looking at the earliest example like surviving jerkin we have is this one right here and it dates the Renaissance all right I haven't found any examples of the jerk it exists in the medieval period type of garment that is misidentified to being a medieval sure vest jacket thing and it's not but those are the primary ones okay so let's see if we can do a quick summary undergarments shirt and chemise you have the blue on you have the precursor to the Hulland which is their heavy gutter then you have the upland surcoat kurtal Japon to bard gambeson monastic scapular cooked a hardy and doublet I think that's everything everything that we've mentioned I actually suspect there are more classic you know identifiable medieval garments that I've missed but those are the ones I've been out I find that are very representative of types of outfits worn in the medieval period the names distinctions differences between story and in many instances overlaps between these definitions but the primary ones and being interesting has been a long time to try and compile what the names are what these are and now there's a more comprehensive video letting you know what they are in a very rambling long-winded way which is what I do hope you've enjoyed okay there's a lot of fun putting this together and of course I hope to see you again please check out the other video where I talk about just the idea of guys wearing dresses how would affect combat and things I hope see you there and until then farewell [Music] you
