Striped fabric
Oct. 23rd, 2005 03:40 pmThis is a very interesting use of striped fabric in men's cloting.
In German clothing 1400-1600, stripes are very hard to find. There are several examples of striped skirts and a couple of striped headdresses, but most of the garments that have stripes in them are pieced, not made from fabric woven in stripes.
Here is an interesting example where the fabric is definitly striped, and you can see the grain lines of the pattern pieces, and they are very interesting too! The grain lines don't run the way I thought they would on this typical men's doublet style from 1480's. For instance, check out the grain on the sleeves, it doesn't run lengthwise, but widthwise.
Although the painting is from the South Tyrol, this style general is Burgundian and was endemic throught the area and down into Italy.
