\"Holland<\/a>

Holland countrywoman by Lucas de Heere, late 16th c. (image source: University of Ghent)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Flemish gown research has become an excuse to make funny hats. YAY!!!! Because there are few things I love more than wearing crazy things on my head. First, I thought, oh sure, I’ll need some nice little linen cap. Then it looked like maybe a new type of wired cap a la Netherlands (because, oh yeah, did they go nuts with wired caps in the 16th century! see: barbels<\/a> on the Facebook Elizabethan Costume community).<\/p>\n

But what really caught my eye was this cap-cloak thingy with a duck-bill shape on the head that’s in the Lucas de Heere book. I mean, wtf is going on there? It’s awesomely bizarre. I don’t know, but it’s fucking crazy & I may need to make that just for the hell of it.<\/p>\n

Is the duck bill to keep off rain or sun? Rain seems likely because of the curled brim, except that the most likely materials (starched &\/or wired linen &\/or buckram) wouldn’t be rainproof at all. I guess it could be a canvas, maybe waxed or oiled to repel water, but I don’t know how common that was used in hats in this era.<\/p>\n

I need some contemporary written descriptions, not just images, & who writes about country-folk clothes at that time? I know where to find descriptions of upper-class clothes, but not the lower folk. Hrm…<\/p>\n

I did find two more images, a woman in one of those “catalogs of what women of Europe are supposedly wearing in the 16th century” & a man…<\/p>\n

\"1586, <\/a>
1586, Dutchwoman from Frauen Trachtenbuch by Jost Amman (image source: Wikimedia Commons) <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"1559, <\/a>
1559, detail from Netherlandish Proverbs by Pieter Bruegel the Elder <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

The oddest is the man in Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting “Netherlandish Proverbs,” which is also called “The Blue Cloak<\/a>” due to the central image of a woman putting a blue *duck-billed cloak* on a man. This image is supposed to represent a wife cuckolding her husband<\/a>, according to every online analysis of the painting (& presumably lots of offline theses<\/a> as well, which I need to get access too when I can hit up the library). What is unclear to me is if the meaning of cuckolding comes from the blue color of the cloak, the act of putting a cloak on one’s husband, or if the duck-bill shape of the cloak’s hood has any connection. Nobody says.<\/p>\n

None-the-less, I’m obsessed! So once I finish the gown, I’m totally making one of these things, & I promise not to put it on a man or make it in blue. However, I might quack (damn you<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
