I love the huik, it’s such a silly garment! I’m so glad to see period Dutch fashion being done on YT, it’s so interesting and so underrepresented in US costuming circles.
Yesss it really is! Dutch Renaissance is one of my favorite eras and has been a focus of mine for a long time, and I may very much enjoy sharing more of that on UA-cam!
I think in the painting of Pieter Bruegel it is supposed to be the woman's blue cloak put on her elderly husband's shoulders (as a symbol of her adultery). So it is not a garment worn by men.
I get why my ancestors would ware these, it’s almost a cap and coat in one. So if it would rain, it wouldn’t get in your face as easily. Or to cast shade on your face in the summer. I like it 😄
i'm belgian and i've been wanting to make one of these since forever! There's surprisingly little information surrounding things that are closer to me ( i'm in the region of tournai, which was a really important textile centre in europe at that time but all of the depictions i've found so far are religious and display more alegorical people and the "french hood" seems to have been refered to as the type worn by "flemish women" but it could mean anyone in the low countries (maybe even everyone) same with the fallie, a black rectangle of wool twill with cotton bias worn like a scottish women wore their arisaid but it seems to have been a flemish (in the modern sense) or protestant dress, maybe even a dutch influence. I really like the huik, because it's so destinctive, i've even seen one paired with a conical straw hat for maximum effect, but i've not yet seen various brimmed styles portrayed together, only a brimmed fitured next to one or more with no brim, maybe the difference i brim was a local distinction, or perhaps it was one of trends, i really like those where the pleats move up the brim, it must be a pain to structure properly though, huiken were still worn up until the beginning of the 20th century in some region (either in southern netherlands or east flanders? i'd have to check) so i guess someone still has and oriinal huik at home and probably has no freaking clue what it is, lol
I love this!! My favorite sort of historical renactments are the ones where you find niche clothing.
Designed to keep the rain off.
hey, daisy--DUCK!
this whole video was great fun--what a wonderful cloak! the duck says, "huik, huik!"
Yayyyy!!!! ❤😍❤
I love my potlid huik! It's so weird I always feel selfconscious wearing it
Cool that there's actually an extant contemporary pattern sketch to help out with your recreation - so often these items we know solely from historical paintings can only be recreated through guesswork, experimentation and loooots of research. Thumbs up for trying more unusual historical garments!
(And despite its humorously unusual appearance, the cloak/bill combo really does seem quite practical for keeping drizzle out of one's eyes and face, in a context where you might not have a hand free from carrying loads or juggling kids to hold an umbrellla...?)
Totally!! It's really nice to have that sketch!
I've thus far worn it briefly to one event, and I can confirm it does help while keeping hands free - I will really test it when we have a rainy event!
Love how your cat helps you by holding down the excess fabric…. 😂😂
Your duck flapping at the reveal was ~mystical~ and warmed my soul. I love that we have extant illustrations of a PATTERN, omg and that its such a logical amd practical garment, too! Strangely, Heian period middle and upperclass women wore a very similar "garment upon the head" when traveling or going out of doors during rain! It was sortof a modified ornamental 'Kosode,' or elongated wide-sleeved open fronted tunic that draped back from the forehead to cover pretty much everything to just below the wearer's knees. Held in place with a woven ormamental belt to keep it from flying away in a breeze. :) do you think your duck bill would work in light rain, @Daisy? Any worry about dye transfer? I know little to nothing about modern wool dyes, so asking to learn before i start sewing my first wool partlet!
You look AMAZING!!!
All hail the weird in historical costuming! I may or may not be dabbling in Renaissance German specifically because I adore wulsthaubes and never see anyone in them. 😄
EDIT: Also all praise to the utterly unbothered kitty at 12:40. 😆
Talk about being immersed in the process! 😆 Any costumer with a cat or dog always seems to find their pet is magnetically attracted to uncut lengths of fabric when one is trying yo get work done, but the "helpers" are not usually quite as chill about it as that snoozy kitty! 😹
At first glance it might look like something silly....but it would probably keep the rain away from the face....much like the sticky-out-part of my winter hat to keep the snow out from my eyes at work.
Fabulous!!!
What a fun project!! Does any one else remember the sit-com of 1967 starring Sally Field? The title? The Flying Nun . . .
I wonder where the half circle comes from because almost all descriptions say it uses a rectangular piece of cloth that it gathered very tight at the top. As a funeral garment it was worn until the early 1900's.
Could it be curved at the brim like a ball cap? That would make sense, as the curved brim helps shade the eyes.
This is so cool! I would love to know how well it keeps the rain off.
I may have to turn this video over to the An-Tir WOAW (Whimsical Order of the Ailing Wit - those who pun above and beyond reason) committee for review. :)
Putting the pun in at the end - worth it!
❤😍❤
Super cool! Thank you Daisy!!
This is one of the reasons I didn't want a Dutch persona of that time period. I am glad you feel comfortable carrying that off, lol.
This was fun. I wonder how it works in the rain and wind? And yes, Daisy, you need to be down her in Eugene, where Donald rules. :D
Quack. Quack. Quack wonder if the duck bill was to hold off raindrops?
So. How does it do in different weather?? Inquiring Kats want to know!
Is it heavy enough to stay on unaided, or do you think they used pins?
In my experience thus far, it stays ok unaided if you aren't moving a ton, but I prefer pins to keep it anchored well for any movement!
Am I the only Dutch speaking watcher that got a bit distracted by the way she said huik? You're saying hoik 🤔
As a Belgian whose lived in several countries, the way people try to pronounce "ui" is the one that trips me up the most, but you get used to it. The noise doesn't exist in many other languages, so it's really difficult to reproduce if you don't hear it until you're an adult. It's the same as how Dutch speakers often struggle to aspirate dentals when speaking foreign languages, especially when we're self-taught or had a teacher who wasn't that fussed about pronunciation.
Next time someone asks you for something to say in Dutch, especially if they're slightly competitive, ignore all the tempting swearwords and go straight for something with "ui", "ch" and "eeuw", like "Geeuw. Huil toch." Hours of fun.
Interestingly, hoik is one of the common spellings as well! Thanks both for the pronunciation tips!
