EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the medieval era of 1470, showcasing the distinctive attire of Frenchmen during that time. The men in this print don various garments that reflect the opulence and intricacy of the fashionable clothing of the late 15th century. In the foreground, a man wears a short, fur-lined jerkin or jacket, featuring hanging sleeves that add volume and a sense of grandeur. The jacket is paired with hose, which are tight-fitting, knee-length breeches, and piked shoes, also known as cracowes, characterized by their tall, pointed toes. Another man is dressed in a long, flowing gown, which is known as a houppelande. This garment, typically worn by the nobility, is adorned with intricate dagged sleeves, adding a decorative touch to the overall appearance. The man completes his ensemble with a small, round cap, which sits atop his head, and a chaperon, a type of hood with a liripipe, a long, hanging tassel. A third man dons a long gown, this one with a more subdued design, and a simple, conical hat. The combination of these various garments, from the short, functional jerkin to the grand, ornate houppelande, provides a fascinating glimpse into the diverse and intricate world of medieval French fashion.
