Let me give a wardrobe for a man of this time.
A hood with a cape to it; the peak of the hood made full, but about half a hand’s breadth longer than necessary to the hood; the cape cut sometimes at the edge into a number of short slits.
A cap of soft stuff to fit the head, with or without an upturned brim. A fillet of silk or metal for the hair.
A gown made very loose and open at the neck, wide in the body, the sleeves loose or tight to the wrist. The gown long or short, on the ground or to the knee, and almost invariably belted at the waist by a long belt of leather with ornamental studs.
A surcoat split from shoulder to hem, or sewn up except for a wide armhole.
A coat shaped very slightly to the figure, having pocket-holes in front, small armholes, and a buttoned neck.
A great oblong-shaped piece of stuff for a cloak, or a heavy, round cloak with an attached hood.
Tights of cloth or sewn silk—that is, pieces of silk cut and sewn to the shape of the leg.
Shoes with long points—about 2 inches beyond the toes—fastened by a strap in front, or laced at the sides, or made to pull on and fit at the ankle, the last sometimes with a V-shaped piece cut away on either side.
There was a tendency to beads, and a universal custom of long hair.
