Persona: Renaissance Flemish working class

I’ve done the least amount of work on this persona, even though my name comes from 15thC Flanders, and that’s where I (nearly) started.  I keep a set of garb in this timeperiod purely for dancing demonstrations for the public, when it would be confusing to have a Bronze Age chick doing the Black Nag.

I currently wear, in pursuit of a working class impression:
