Book Description
Seventeenth-Century Men’s Dress Patterns offers an in-depth exploration of the structure and craftsmanship of early 17th-century English men’s clothing and accessories, presented in a precise, accessible, and visually engaging format. Featuring twelve remarkable historical garments from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection—including a suit, three doublets, a cloak, a felt hat, an embroidered nightcap and liner, a pasteboard picadil, a sword girdle and hangers, a pair of mittens, and a linen stocking—the book carefully deconstructs each piece to reveal its technical details.
Each garment is accompanied by scaled patterns and detailed construction diagrams, alongside high-quality color photography and close-up images. X-ray photography further uncovers the hidden structures of the garments, clearly showing the layers, linings, and stitching methods used. Historical tailoring and hand-sewing techniques are demonstrated step by step, enabling readers to follow the entire process from drafting patterns to final finishing.
The authors are internationally renowned specialists in historical costume, with extensive experience working with leading institutions such as London’s Globe Theatre, creating award-winning costumes for film, stage, and television. This book is an invaluable resource for fashion and costume designers, fashion historians, students, and anyone fascinated by the craftsmanship and artistry of seventeenth-century fashion.
