mimicofmodes:soaringsearingphoenix:tumblunni:norsesuggestions:norsesuggestions:norsesuggestions:norsesuggestions:Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy?? Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes! (yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect) Picture from: https://www.museumhalland.se/bockstensmannen/kladerna/His kjortel (the clothing for his upper body) He got a mantel that resemble a poncho It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but. A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm! Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here. Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is) Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all… All pictures from https://www.museumhalland.se/bockstensmannen/kladerna/When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time. But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing Source: https://www.museumhalland.se/bockstensmannen/bockstensmannen-far-ett-ansikte/https://www.museumhalland.se/utstallning/bockstensmannen/Holy shit forbidden fashionable bog man@glumshoe This but colorful(Just a little note: the long tail thing on the hood is called a liripipe!) -- source link
