Early Medieval Hose | Clothing Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- In this video we'll cover how to make a pair of Early Medieval hose (Norse; hosur) based on a textile fragment found at the Hedeby (Haithabu) Harbour settlement, in Viking Age Denmark. Additionally, there are some other archaeological finds of hose from the medieval period that we will take into consideration. This fragment is catalogued as piece H2 and is dated to the 9th century. We cover the debate around the fragment, how to measure your legs, dye your fabric, construction, and finishing touches.

That walnut color is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for posting this wonderful video!
Happy i discovered this Channel, this early!👏🏻 I really appreciate the format, great and in-depth research at the beginning and then a proper construction sequence, which we all need sometimes! 😅
Overall this channel is really what i needed, as im building up my own kit!
How did you draft the pattern? Especially around the foot, I get doing the leg, but the ankle to toes is a bit vague.
Jake good job
Really good video and experiment ! But by my experience, I sew wool with wool thread on early medieval garments. So, it's means by hand. But I found that it keeps the stretch property of wool and in the end, garments are more beautiful.
Do you buy your wool thread or spin your own? If buying, where do you get it, cause I'm finding I have a lot less time to spin than I'd like nowadays.
Nice video. I apreciate the time you take to show the sources etc. You really should hand stitch the whole Thing. U pick up speed fast and end up beating the machine in time saved from preparing the upper and over threat, changing spools and so on. Big fan of your channel
Thanks for the feedback! For the next video, we’re making a hood, so we’ll be sure to hand sew the whole thing, and film the process 👍
Excellent video, mate! Thanks for the info! I'm planning to make a couple of living history videos about vikings in spring. Great channel, Jake!
Don't EVER use your cooking pots or utensils for dyeing. Once they've been used for dyeing, that's it, they belong to the dye kit. A lot of dyestuffs are poisonous, and the mordants can be pretty nasty stuff too. To avoid giving yourself respiratory problems, wear a mask when using powders and, if possible, work outside or at the very least with an extractor fan going.
Again thanks loads for this fabulous information.
I've found some really helpful things thus far on your channel and will be soon be trying them. My purpose with tailoring is ultimately to phase out most or all modern store-bought garments, i.e. anything that I haven't made, myself. Thanks for your direct and clear presentations.
Great work! This was really helpful. Do you have a like you can share for your wool? And what weight was the wool?
So would these be worn over the trousers instead of leg wraps?
I'm very surprised at the depth of the brown the fabric took on - and watching you put them together was fascinating. I wonder if these would have ever been worn under the bigger balloon type pants you made, as these do look like lady's thigh stocks even with the fasters attaching the tops so they don't fall - I was thinking they could be removed without taking the over-pants off if you were working and got hot.
So there's a separate belt for the braes? They don't attach to the one around the tunic? Maybe a dumb question and I'm probably butchering the proper terminology but I'm curious and I know f#ck all about medieval clothing design lol. I'm a visual learner so just reading about it doesn't really do much for me. I like to dabble in concept/character design and I love how Warhorse tried to be historically accurate in Kingdom Come Deliverance. Cool video though, new to your channel, this is my first from yours.
**Watching the braes video now, makes more sense. Probably should have watched that first but like I said I'm clueless.
How did you draft the pattern? Did I miss something?
Do you think you could use a close sewing machine stitch to sew some coffee filters together and steep a little longer?
If you harvest walnuts, use gloves. I learned THAT the hard way 😂
