He's no special plowman, he puts on his hose one leg at a time just like us
lol hah haaaa
Eli Craig ELI PLEASE DO NOT SPEAK THIS WAY ITS VERY VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO THIS GREAT MAN WHO LIVED SO LONG AGO AND TOILED SO WRETCHEDLY AMIDST THE WEIGHT OF HIS HEAVY PLOW...BARE HIS LIFES VISIONS AND BLEAK HIS ANAL LEAKAGE....BENDING HIS MANFRIEND WHILE INSERTING THE PLOW INTO THE TENDER AREA WIDENING AS IT GOES....🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖
Pro-choice? So what if he was pro-life? That's not a bad thing, you know.
@bearjew Pssh I *AM* a woman and I am not into the modern feminism as I think they are just female-chauvinists. That's no better than the men who are womanizers. I am for equal rights and equal respect but why does it have to come with a bad attitude?
@bearjew I came off, to me, as a joke and playful sarcasm. I guess I get so annoyed with those man-hater types that I get rather course in my words. Sorry.
I read the title as "getting depressed in the 14th century" at first.
that'd probably be an easy task
Well your child is dead, there's not enough food, church is burning people, and there's always fear of plague wiping out your town so yeah, can't see 14th century people being cheerful
Well look at how angry that picture of the plowman was
The house next door has the plague.
That is actually rather fitting for the time period
It's kind of funny how this is basically a more practical version of what girls wear nowadays in Autumn. Tunic, leggings, ankle boots, infinity scarf. LOL
The Romans and even Christ wore long tunics ...if it was fashionable now...I would too.
Two fashion trends that need to make a comeback:
1) Long robes
2) cloaks
Small Teddy
3) Funny hats
4) Shoulder capes
5) Embroidered hoods
floof_hair I second funny hats
It's so interesting seeing a masculine perspective of how people dressed long ago!! Most of the videos I've seen is how women dressed, which is interesting in its own right. Their garments had ingenious functionality.
Same!
AM D no one really wants to see a man dressing.
Meade Music Speak for yourself!😍😄.
Meade Music it’s not that I’m interested in seeing him dress. I’m more interested in why they wore what they wore. This shits cool, why’s it gotta be homoerotic in yo mind? There’s wwe for you to go fantasize over.
Like what ingenious functionality?
As someone who has reenacted in "Viking Era" clothes, I can say that linen is the most comfortable, practical clothe I have ever worn. 2 layers kept me warm when it was cool out, but also breathed so that I was cool during hot weather. I have been doused with several gallons of water when a canvas tent partially collapsed during a hard rain, only to be dry within hours of the sun coming out.
If I had the money I would love to have modern clothes made of linen rather than cotton & cotton/polyester blends.
wow this is very interesting
I love pure fine linen cloth clothes.. Many available now are a linen - cotton blend. They are not as nice but look good.
Linen is not very expensive by the meter. You could watch some of those 'copy any shirt' videos on here and sew yourself a linen garment.
I LOVE linen. I Do not own any polyester clothes. Plastic clothes don’t breathe and I always feel over heated and itchy in them. I make a lot of my own things as well.
@@Diniecita Interesting. I am phasing out all polyester plastic junk and moving into cottons and linens and wool myself. Of the earth, for the earth.
Speaking of traces of the Black Death: in Norway, a lot of people still carry the name "Ødegård", which means "Desolate Farm". It refers to farms that were abandoned because the previous residents died or fled. When the new residents moved in (possibly decades, if not over a century later), they took the place name as a surname.
Enthused Norseman wow that’s so interesting, thanks for sharing. ☺️
Was about to say the same thing hahaha, there is also a place close to where i live that is called "tretten" the towns name is said to be after how many that survived there after the blackdeath. Thirteen.
Enthused Norseman now that’s some cool ass history. Do new names get added still? If there were a new plague or massive event in Norway do people still make up new names for it or is that for history?
Well, in terms of family names, and such, there was a law in the 50s I think that required everyone to assume fixed family names - before that there was no requirement to have a registered last name. So I don't think it would come as easy these days.
Enthused Norseman Ahh, thanks for the quick answer. That’s really interesting how the naming system works
I'm English & I've lived in England all my life & I've never know what those grooves in the ground were until today. To think a mark from so far back still exists is a lovely reminder of my ancestors presence.
Ok,i am addicted to these "Getting dressed" videos! So informative,and her voice is so soothing!😍😍😍
sammeeee!
same
Perv 😂
hahaha same! :)
I agree that they are informative, but they are mostly about British fashion, so why is an American narrating?
I wish there were more vids like these, honestly. It's far more interesting to see how the workers, peasantry and simpler people lived and dressed. Getting so tired of just these rich depictions of nobles and knights. They're cool, but people relate more to the common folk.
I hope you do more!
exactly
Why on earth do you need to relate to people from the 14th Century? You sound silly.
Most of us relate to working and middle class people going about their daily lives for an honest living instead of playing games all day and partying all night.
Sorry if that's silly, tho.
Yeah, over romanticizing a time period is really bad. Things like this keep it down to earth.
who do you relate to?
So nice to see historical men’s dressing for a change
Adrian Ghandtchi I know, it’s really beneficial for me as a writers trying to research the various medieval clothing.
There used to be a dean at the school I went to named Ernest Ploughman. Now that is a name.
My point was more the combination of the first and last names being so wholesomely whitebread.
Getting Ready in 21st century : Wakes up in the morning , o yeah yesterdays clothes suits me
In 600 years, another documentary will give this level of detail in describing why, how, and when you wear your clothes. Someone from 2618 will also say "yeah yesterday's clothes suit me." and laugh thinking we meditated for 15 minutes on our clothing decisions like you.
"The young 21st century male would wake up around the crack of noon, still reeling from a late night campaign of slaying his enemies online and fighting with bots and internet trolls. He then would replace his ironic nostalgic retro gaming t-shirt with a superhero shirt, and spray his torso with an aerosol cologne, further destroying the ozone we no longer have. After this, he would travel to a local eatery known as Taco Bell for food, and begin his daily cycle all over again."
And let's face it, this is how I would spend my days if I didn't have to work for a living.
You don't work 7 days a week, right? Isn't that a good description of a weekend or a vacation day?
IARRCSim Indeed this would be my day off. Hahaha.
IARRCSim I’m liking the depth of this
The ending was kinda unexpected. Kinda like "but everything changed when the fire nation attacked"
Love how the ploughman is the focus, i wonder how many other common folks there are?
lol
At least 4
there is quite a wide a array of working people but more often then not they were excluded from the translation through out time, since the books were written or commisioned by the upper stands of society.
After the plague, roughly half of how many there were before
Actually looks like a very practical and comfortable working setup.
Al M until you need to pee
@@rebeccaclark4553 yikes
@@rebeccaclark4553 the breeches have a slit on the front.
Yeah wouldn't mind a girl version to wear, myself 😀
I guess that's why we use the plural to describe pants/trouser-type garments, because they were originally two separate pieces.
I like the hood we should bring that style of hood back
I have one for my everyday winter garb with modern fabrics, works so well!
redhead that sounds awesome I really want one you don’t happen to know where I can maybe order one do you ?
redhead Thank you that website is amazing it has all kind of cool stuff
id wear any part of those clothes here demonstrated. They all look so comfy and warm!!
Nah
I love these dressing videos! They seem really well researched, and not "glamorized" as so many similar videos seem to be. No, these people don't look particularly "good" by modern standards, but they do look *right*.
This is amazing! My grandmother was a Luttrell, directly descended from the Luttrell family, and the family here in Australia are fascinated with the wonderful videos you have done.
I stumbled upon them last year, and have shared them with the family.
I was a farm worker, and ploughed the fields, so this is rather prophetic.
Beautifully depicted.
Perfect guy to have as a model for this clothing style...he has a great look and body for these clothes. Well done.
Omg, he actually wiped his feet! I was so bugged when the 14th century woman put those shoes on after stepping all over that straw and never wiped her feet! lol
Dick Fageroni or maybe it's just a habit?
luhmowah
Dick Fageroni or they are trying to imply that what they wrote was in a humorous vein? It's hard to denote someone's stance (anger, humour, sarcasm, etc...) just from reading. Adding the "lol" at the end is simply a way to end the paragraph to establish the writer meant it as a joke or found the situation funny.
@Dick Fageroni hahaha you're soo right! Lol
Lol is a lot more casual, and a lot clearer in todays world (People are scared of things with a lot of words on the internet) than "haha". "Haha" actually seems unnatural.
So yeah, he was using lol to make it clear that his statement was supposed to be humorous. Get the fuck off your high horse.
All the hip plowmen wore their hats backwards, ya dig?
"Business men, they drink my wine. Ploughmen dig my earth. None of them along the line, know what any of it is worth."
Thanks, Mr Zimmerman - very eschatological.

This is bloody amazing. It tickled the right part of my brain that always longs to understand common life (a majority of our ancestors lives) in the middle ages. Perfect.
I want to see more men’s historical fashion please!
cinematography must have been tough. amazing. informativr and creative wow
This series is so fascinating to me. I think seeing this is not only the most accurate but also informative in the visuals to accommodate the voice over. I will say this, Thank god I didn’t live in this time lol I complain About wearing a suit due to sweating in the winter. I would’ve never survived having to dress like we did back then.
That's why they're called PANTS, plural, omg!!!
a PAIR of pants..
Trousers are a separate and much older garment. That said, how we refer to them might indeed have something to do with medieval hose.
I always suspected that "pants" came from "pantaloon", but I've never bothered to try and confirm it.
Thinking as I write this, I often see "pantaloon" written as plural "pantaloons", so perhaps the idea of a pair was applied to them as well, even though they were one piece.
I'm thinking Sophia and Julia are making a good guess. It seems reasonable that the idea of a "pair" likely did originate with a pair of hoes, and the idea of other garments which encased the legs as also being a "pair" was transferred to them as they became common.
Fun fact: The German generic term for pants is "Hose" to this day.
they are called trousers, pants are underneath
Well that turned morbid. Let's watch a video about 14th century fashion...suddenly the black death... And everyone is dead. 😢
Edit: thank you so much for all the likes.
For real! I thought "Well this is really cool, well done history, aaannd yep, everyone is dead."
Mia Lemon I know right, plus the music is so calming as well.
sounds about right..
I was thinking about how my eldest son's new age crowd would approve of these clothes. Then I remembered how they are also militantly anti-vaccination and proselytise on the subject. A return to the dark ages is surely on the cards.
So maybe the way to getting out of Plutocracy will play out something like this:
Something happens (oil destroyed by virus, food goes bad, super-volcano blocks the sun for a decade, etc.) and world-wide riots ensue.
The governments around the world try to control these. The riots turn into civil wars. After decades of fighting, nanite weapons are invented. These can build bridges, even while being shot at, turn into fortifications on the fly, disassemble enemy tanks, etc. The counters to them are electrolasers, electroplasma, and microwave weapons, but I digress.
Eventually the wars end as people tire of killing and seeing so much death. The nanite technology makes money obsolete, Star-Trek style.
Very interesting. One branch of my ancestors came from Lincolnshire and were farmers. Undoubtedly, some wore these very garments!
do you happen to know where in Lincolnshire? also woo! Lincolnshire is known about by people not currently living there!!
It amazes me that we can still see the work of these men 100s of years later.
it's almost harvesting season

This was excellent. Very immersive. I felt like I was actually there. Incredible work by the narrator, cameramen, producers, and editors. Make more please!
out of all the getting dressed videos, i’m sure i’ve watched this one well over 20 times. i don’t even know why, but this video gives me some strange inner peace. maybe it reminds me of a past life 😅
England has so much history.
And how are they trying to destroy it? Lmao. Do tell. You learn all this shit in History.
Varangian Guard LOOOOL in what world??
Except ACTUAL HISTORIANS have confirmed that there were plenty of black people in Roman Britain. Even the first man in Britain (or rather, bones found) was black (or dark-skinned). Telling the truth is not 'black-washing', not that that's a thing. People just think it is because history has been white washed for centuries.
You can do your OWN research. Not that I trust it, since your methods of research seem to be stemming from UA-cam videos. How tragic. And there were indeed plenty. Plenty black and brown troops and also settlers. History in Britain IS whitewashed. To think not is to actively be a fucking ignoramus.

To say that there where plenty of black troops in roman Britan is stupid. The romans didnt even have a province inhabited by africans. It is true there were some soldiers of nubian origin selected from egyptian auxiliaries however their number is extremley small. Any ammount of propaganda wont change this fact.
gorgeous!
YES, MY ANCESTORS!!! (surname is Plowman :D)
i think that's just his profession
@Shaise Kindering Oh! i never knew people got surnames like that!
@Shaise Kindering erm, nah i don't think my surname fits into that category
Im distantly related to royalty...
@Scrooge McGruel yeah I know but sometimes I wish I wasn't (also I'm American but yes of European descent)
I've recently gotten into re-enactment clothing, especially 14th century, though more noble knightly class with a fitted chotehardie, I think my favourite item has to be the belt with pouch and your other tools suspended from it.
The clothing is surprisingly comfortable, and the wool is warm.
Superb narration...one of the best I’ve heard. Her voice is fantastic.
These videos are very beautiful, awe-inspiring and inspirational. Definitely recommending this channel to other people. Love your content! Would love seeing more of this!
i remember i use to wear this back in the day, man, i miss it
Yeah ploughman myself here, nothing like plowing the fields for the Lord of the land, i really like what i do but its so hard finding any work in todays age
Aye, you spoke true words my friend
Yeah, totally. Ah, the good old days. So much nostalgia.
I’m addicted to these videos, I love learning more about history and basically how people really lived their daily lives in the past
Please make more stuff like this, this is truly amazing. Keep up the good work.
I'm a woman but I love anything about ploughman ways. I love homesteading, so ploughmans lunch, garments etc work perfectly. Practical, minimal, smart, & rich with tradition.
I'm happy to say there are men in my town who dress in similar ways to this, working in produce departments in local co-op stores, gardening & selling at farmers markets, cutting wood, working in metal shops & such.
Thank you so very much for this. I've been seeking a nice video like this for so long. Adore the music too. 💛💛💛
Wonderfully produced and an absorbing subject...all of them.
Also, the commentary is first-rate; the lady should be mentioned in the credits of these videos.
Please do this era for a Knight! 🙏🏻✨
Idk why but i love these videos! Very interesting and wonderfully shot :)
I feel the same way!
This is a very practical attire in another way, back then if times were dangerous, a hidden chainmail jacket can be worn in between the inner knee length gown and outer tunic for protection. I honestly dunno if it was ever done or not but I like to imagine it was
Thanks for this interesting history lesson! Very well done 👏
haha I was just doing some genealogical research today and I've got a string of luttrells in one branch, so who knows, I might be ever so distantly related to sir geoffrey ;)
edit: upon further research, it turns out sir geoffrey luttrell is my 2nd cousin 11x removed, so its not quite a direct connection haha. his great grandfather is my 22nd great grandfather

Chris Wong sorry?
Awesome Possum what the fuck dude
can you explain how you found that information?
genuine not to sound like an ad, but I used a trial on ancestry.com . it helps that I'm European, and the luttrell family was relatively wealthy/noble etc. honestly unless you really commit to the research most branches tend to fizzle out after a bit into obscurity, but I enjoyed it so
my favorite channel on youtube & a reassuring beacon of the positivity the internet has created.
also, chaucer was my ancestor and that makes me happy.
I love your "getting dressed" videos. They are very informative, interesting, and well made!
Did the people in the 14th century shave? And for how long have men and women shaved? I've always been really interested in this but didn't really want to ask my social studies teacher...
Devon Men/Women of ancient Egypt who could afford to do so had shaved heads to avoid lice infestation; And wigs to prevent sunburnt scalps. So that's at least 6000yrs for you
yes, they did, we have finds of shaving knifes and most men in original pictures are clean shaven. simple men probably did it themselves (or for one another), city dwellers had it done 1-2 times a week at the barber's (bathhouse).
And also women were shaving their body hair. Not all of course, but it was definitely a thing in higher classes to remove unwanted body and facial hair. They plucked it with tweezers, used shaving knifes or scrubbed it off after their steam buth with pumice stone (ouch).
We even have records of hair waxing and depilatory creams.
Here is a video about a 14th century bathhouse ua-cam.com/video/AFCTG74HF7Q/v-deo.html
That was pretty interesting.
The fashion for facial hair shifted through the Middle Ages. We can see various styles of beards and moustache, as well as a lot of clean-shaven people on medieval paintings and sculptures. We also have archeological examples of razors from that period, as well as other grooming utensils. Women also favoured tall foreheads, so many of them plucked some of their hair to create an illusion of a tall forehead :)
As a history major as I’m sure you social studies teacher is we love these questions. Sex & hygiene are questions students always keep to themselves but they shouldn’t! It matters so much never be ashamed to ask I guarantee they will love the conversation! Best of luck in your studies kiddo!
I don't know about ploughing fields, but they make good sandwiches!
*Plowing
I was also thinking of this.
These videos are so fascinating!!! I’m learning a lot from them. Excellent job guys!!
The linen smock is, of course, the direct continuation of the Roman tunica. The smock is also the ancestor of the shirt.

UA-cam Recommendations: How does a ploughman get dressed
Love this series of videos, I learn so much about the commons and noble people of the time. Dont ever stop, Histori is Endless.
I really enjoyed watching this! The music in the background really gives it a historical feel to it. It’s so fascinating to see how the common people dressed during the medieval ages.
I'd really love to see more male dressing videos.
My hypothetical girlfriend calls me “the ploughman”.
Thank you for keeping our history alive in such a comfy way ❤️
More of these please! Longer ones welcome on more advanced subjects as well. Well written, well read, well acted, well done!
Have you ever considered doing videos of dress from Ancient Greece or Rome or the Byzantine empire? Maybe even biblical-era clothing?
This is a british Channel why people expect every english speaking Channel to do the rest of the world??
Woolen outer garments where NEVER lined with linen. Lining it with linen makes absolutely no sense! The purpose of the linen underwear is to take all the wear and sweat because it is easy to wash, it also keeps you cool. Lining the wool garments with linen serves absolutely no purpose since that purpose is already occupied by the underwear. Another big thing is that it messes up the way wool breathes, you will have problems with moistures. Most likely that the linen underneath the wool, since they are attached and the lining can not be removed will stay moist for very long periods of time. Because of the wools insulating properties, making it mold and all around deterioate. And create a very uncomfortable garment to wear.
Google searched woolen garment lining, just as I thought: Practice doesn't always comply to all theories
The illumination of the ploughman makes it quite clear that his outer garments were lined. One possibility is that you are correct and they are lined with wool. Another is that they were, in fact, lined with linen; perhaps there were advantages to a linen lining that overbore the disadvantages. For example, perhaps a linen lining made the clothing significantly warmer and more wind resistant. It seems likely that clothes were dried by the fire, making moisture a lesser problem than you assume. I also question your assumptin that lining cannot be removed. To take a garment a garment apart for washing and then sew it back together seems utterly unreasonable to us moderns, with clothes being washed weekly, if not more often. However, the ploughman's clothes may only have undergone a thourough washing once in several months, and the value assigned to labor such as sewing was quite different than it is today.
Beautiful, thank you for this!
Interesting and educational as always! I love this series!
I feel like i have seen this before.

UA-cam: Getting dressed in the 14th century: Ploughman
If you told me that a video about how the people dressed in the 14th century could be interesting, I wouldn't believe.
where do i get those leather boots tho?
Google re-enactment suppliers.
I had never imagined I could so enjoy sitting thru a video on this subject

Bad quality soil,no nutrient to feed life you know
Did they wear the hoods year round? Curious how sunburn was prevented working the fields
sunhats made from straw or felt were very common (throughout antiquity, medieval times and also later) and are frequently seen on depictions of farmers on the field from the time. and we also have a recipe for sun cream from an italian text from the 12th century (but that was probably not widely used).
redhead My grandparents wore straw hats in their farm fields just 30-40 years ago.
I farm, and work outside most of the day. In the summer months, I shave my head with clippers (no attachment) once or twice. Your head may get sunburned, but it acclimates. I run hotter than most people, and a hat just makes it worse, so I've learned to go without one when it's warm. When its 50F or below, I'm comfortable. Once, I was cutting firewood in a t-shirt when it was in the 20s, and I felt just right as long as I kept working. :)
Also, bear in mind the ozone layer hadn't been nearly as damaged yet, so the effects of the sun were mitigated a little by that. Farmers as a class have tended to get almost permanent tans for centuries, so between that and sensible protections like hats (there's a reason that farmers even today are always depicted with some sort of hat, like a baseball cap), they'd be good.
This is now my favourite channel on UA-cam.
That actually looks practical and warm, maybe even bette than modern coats and the hood is stylish as fuck.
So interesting to see a men's fashion video. Didn't realise their clothing had so many pieces too.
Ending with actual time facts is great. Very sad
I am not so sure about linen lining the tunic, I have not seen any clothing orders of that era to suggest such a thing and often time in later, better quality artwork the colored lining is clearly fur. From a practical standpoint linen linings don't make sense, having tried this in the past as a reenactor, linen linings tend to catch rain and soak it in. Where as a linen shirt with turn backed cuffs under a tunic will remain dry, I was once outside during driving rain helping break down tents to prevent damage and after an hour of unrelenting and driving rain the wool tunic had water on the surface but my linen shirt under was dry.
I love these videos!
so many layers!
I wouldn't of made it 5 minutes in the era! Lol.
Men look so good in dresses

Beautiful video, thank you!!
Something about European ploughmen and Chinese farmers during the middle ages. In China the plow design was a wedge that cut into the soil and lifted it up. In Europe there was still just a board, like a dull wooden knife. In China there was only ever one water buffalo pulling a plow while in Europe in some soils there were more than two. And I think European oxen were bigger and stronger. There's an incredible amount of friction, suck, along side the European plow. This basic technological difference lasted for almost 1000 years. These clothing videos are really interesting. I've seen a lot of period or historical movies with cliched plots where I would be far more interested in what people wore, what their tools were like, how they did things, etc...
I thought this was "Getting Depressed in the 14th Century" and was very confused for a while.
Extremely well done. Nice to see how a man dressed in lieu of so many about women (which is also interesting however).
Love these videos.
