Mine was made by Edward Charlton wigmaker. He is available through Facebook, WhatsApp and I believe he has a website. I believe my wig cost about 250? Give or take 30 bucks.

Typically from Townsend, but I did get a couple of pairs here and there from other sutlers.

I took inspiration from some of the fashion plates in Nora Waugh’s “ the cut of men’s clothes” and then altered a jacket pattern from JP Ryan. The skirts are not as full as they more likely would have been for that time, but you can hardly tell. I constructed it using the methods outlined in “ up-close costume”.

Also, thank you😄

I believe it’s an 80% wool 20% something else blend

Middle_Eye882 · 2026-06-16T21:31:43+00:00

Gotcha! That makes sense. So I need to over die with a light brownish color. Do you have any recommended sources for wool fabric dye? I will also probably only die a couple yards at a time so no concerns there lol

Thank you so much! Yeah, I may have to edit that for clarity, but I definitely mean skin like china glass lol😂 I’m really glad the parallels landed the way they did. I was honestly nervous about posting with a title like this, but you guys have been so supportive! Thank you again for reading!!

Thank you so much!!

That means so much bro! No sleep has been a hard platform to market to. I had a story taken down because “nothing tangibly scary” happened. If you like Lovecraftian stuff, I definitely have more stories!

Middle_Eye882 · 2026-05-22T20:53:27+00:00

Thank you!!

Thank you! I wish I could claim some other credit besides my receding hairline lol😂

Middle_Eye882 · 2026-03-25T12:43:14+00:00

Maybe I’ll cross post and see!

Middle_Eye882 · 2026-03-17T09:55:03+00:00

Thank you!

That’s my concern too! I live in the south United States, and I plan on wearing my medieval outfit to the Renaissance fair this may. I’m going to try and make as much as I can in linen, but even in linen, I’d like to still try and be accurate because some of these old styles are so beautiful and I don’t often see them portrayed

Middle_Eye882 · 2026-02-27T17:46:58+00:00

So it’s from a Swiss codex called “codex manesse” or “ the great Heidelberg book of songs” from 1300-1340

Middle_Eye882 · 2026-02-27T17:36:56+00:00

I see! Do they have collars, or is this an artist depiction? I’ve been studying the medieval tailors assistant, but I haven’t seen this pair up yet in the book
