Dating back to approximately 1495, this detailed print reveals the intricacies of the man's costume, which includes a long-sleeved surcoat, a waistcoat or stomacher, hose, and a codpiece. 3. The Long-Sleeved Surcoat: The Englishman wears a long-sleeved surcoat, which is belted at the waist.

The surcoat's open design allows us to catch a glimpse of the intricately decorated waistcoat or stomacher beneath. 4. The Waistcoat or Stomacher: The waistcoat or stomacher is a fitted, decorative garment that covers the chest and abdomen.

The Codpiece and Hose: The man's hose, which are worn underneath his surcoat and waistcoat, are held up by a belt. The codpiece, a distinctive feature of Tudor men's clothing, is a padded, decorative piece that covers the front of the groin area. This accessory was believed to provide protection and enhance the masculine silhouette. 6. Conclusion: This print offers a unique glimpse into the fashionable attire of an Englishman from the late 15th century. The long-sleeved surcoat, waistcoat or stomacher, hose, and codpiece all contribute to the man's stylish and well-appointed appearance, providing a fascinating window into the sartorial trends of Tudor England.
