Above-the-knee linen hose.  Made of the same stuff as my smocked apron.  I haven’t finished the top edge yet – not sure how and where to cut them off.  I’ll probably work on it at Saltare, where I plan to wear them.

A quick recap of 14thc garb, linen version:

Hair – Sewn-up doubled plaits, as in AOTC listpic.  CHECK.
Shift – Still wearing my very first ‘made from a diagram not a pattern’ cotton shift.  Must replace soon with a linen version that has a smooth hemline.  But daggy hemline doesn’t show.
Hose – Almost CHECK.
Shoes – CHECK.
Pattens – Still to make, but have all materials.  Not needed until Gulf Wars.
Gown – CHECK.
Apron – CHECK.
Pouch – CHECK.
Veil – CHECK. But not necessary, according to AOTC listpics of 14thc sewn-up doubled plaits.   I want to look further into this- because although it’s a good rule of thumb for beginners to always cover heads – the illustrations don’t bear this out.  Where and when were heads not covered?  Must assemble pics with references.
Surcote or cyclas? – Not made yet.  I’m holding out on this for my weaving to be done, because I want to use that fabric.  Also a Where/When question: lots of 14th c illustrations don’t show a doubled gown.  I’d like to figure out a rule here.
Mantle (wool) – CHECK.
Hood – Wool-look (mumblepolarfleecemumble) chaperon.  CHECK.
Dropspindle and distaff – CHECK.

So, I think I’m ready to go a-wandering in the 14thc, at least as long as it isn’t too cold.  I want to duplicate the gown and hose in wool (not knitted), but I want that wool gown to have the grande assiette armseye, so I’m not there yet.   It will probably take the rest of the summer to finish my spinning/weaving (at the rate I’m going now, sigh), so it’s too much to expect for this winter.  I’ll get along like I did last year.
