Cotton!! This was great, I can't wait for the rest of the series. Who knows, there may be nightmare projects made with this, or merely less argument about cotton textiles in our wardrobes.
I am glad you enjoyed it, I am sure there will be nightmare projects, but there are nightmare projects in commonly accepted textiles. The key is to view the evidence and research in front of us and apply what is reasonable using the techniques, fashions and textiles that were available.
Shadiversity brought me here, now I'm a sub for life! Please keep your channel alive! It will grow huge!
Glad you are enjoying the videos. We are still around, don't worry.
...and that's the tea on medieval cotton
only a sip
is there going to be a follow-up video to address why everyone else says there was no cotton in medieval Europe?
I had not considered that, to be honest I'm very confused why people say there isn't.
Great vid!
Looking well, happy new year!
Thank you and happy new year to you too
Looking forward to hearing more on the how and why the southern germany became the center of cotton industry. One would assume at the first glance that shipping the fibre there would make the fabric much more expensive.
Yes, it is an odd situation, really looking forward to discussing it
This is good stuff!
Glad you are enjoying it :)
Wow, cotton who would have thought?
It is definitely something that we have been wanting to talk about for awhile.
So what would the cotton weave look like if we are talking about worn garments?
This is a really good question, there are lots of different weaves and types of cotton fabrics being manufactured in the medieval period, twills are common as were brushed flannels. As for what they would look like this is harder to say since we do not have any surviving examples. We can only operate on conjecture, since we know what a medieval twill looked like we can only surmise that same fabric being woven in cotton.
good work sir :-)
Thank you sir
Great video thanks !!!!!
I'm getting a 15th century outfit pieced together slowly,and I have 2 gugels,1 wool with liripipe and cotton lining,and another without liripipe but it's complete cotton,so I suppose either would be plausible:)
Glad you liked it.
I would say either are plausible yes, there is some interesting German cotton garments that are mentioned only in text that I would like to try out
@@PopulaUrbanum thank you! And I'm supposed to have a 15th century look,so no liripipe would be okay?
Depending on the context, we do see some depictions of a hood being worn en-chaperon without a liripipe being depicted in France in the latter part of the 14th and early portion of the 15th century, I *think you *may start to see the liripipe disappearing in the latter portion of the 15th century. I would be very unsure of this without needing to do some very serious looking at visual resources though. The hood is an interesting garment during the 15th century it really starts to disappear in favor of other headwear and again it depends on where, when and for what purpose we are talking
Forgive the obvious question but what language are you saying hello in at the beginning of your videos?
We are speaking Te Reo which is the Maori language.
Fantastic video packed with great information! Would you mind if i cite this in one of my upcoming videos?
Hey yes, please do. the more cotton information the better :)
@@PopulaUrbanum Thank you very much!
You are welcome, let me know when the next one is up
When you said contentious topic, I thought you were going to mention the mandatory Covid 19 camps.
Oh goodness no...
@@PopulaUrbanum "It turns out, it's just a cover for a giant cotton milling operation, designed to make New Zealand the foremost cotton producer! People go in, cotton comes out!"
I hadn't realized cotton was cheaper than wool in Europe (at least after the crusades). Thanks for sharing that. I guess they never went so far as to make cotton armour, which was popular in America. Makes me wonder why, if so. Maybe linen was even cheaper, for gambesons?
@@vanivanov9571 I have no sources backing this up, but I've heard that the term "aketon" was used for a gambeson-like armor that used cotton in place of linen.
wow just when I thought I had heard every terrible conspiracy theory a new one comes up. No cotton milling here, New Zealand can't even mill it's own wool.
Yes, cotton armour outside of Jupons and aketons and helmet liner did not take off in Europe, while as you say the Americas had cotton Armour, so too did Islamic Africa and I believe the Mongolians too, but I could be wrong about that.
@InSanic The Jupon of Charles de Blois has a cotton lining, there is some weird etymology of the word Jupon, and Jupe which comes from a cotton garment as well which I can't quite remember
tree wool i love it. yours so quit though its hard to hear
Tree wool, I thought it was odd.
I wonder why it is quiet for you, are you on a mobile phone?
