But for people who wear reproductions of German Renaissance clothing at historic sites, reenactments, Renaissance Faires, period theatre, Western Martial Arts, and living history events, this body of knowledge is lacking one essential piece — a simple guide on how to get dressed.  What pieces are essential to be dressed properly?  What garments can be omitted for reasons of comfort without compromising the accuracy of the outfit?  Where is the line between costume and clothing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; color: #2d2d2d;\"\u003eReconstructing History’s 16th century Landsknecht Men's Getting Dressed Guide is meant to fill that void.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eThis 40-page downloadable guide, written by clothing historian Kass McGann and backed by 25 years of research, will tell you everything you need to know to dress historically accurately as a Landsknecht soldier from 1520s \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003ethrough 1530s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003e in the Holy Roman Empire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eThe Getting Dressed Guides are not intended to be books of all knowledge.  In these pages you will not find debates about the construction of doublets or what sheep breeds were in use in the English wool industry. You will simply find a list of garments commonly worn by Landsknecht soldiers in the 1520s and 1530s and the manner in which they were worn.  General fabric types and other pertinent information is included, but more detail than this is outside the scope of this Guide.  In other words, the Getting Dressed Guides are guides to teach you how to get dressed for this period and location.  “Everything you need to know to get dressed.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003eIf you find a garment listed in a Getting Dressed Guide, you can be sure it was worn in the period covered.
