Make the perfect commoner's outfit for common men across Europe!
This outfit was worn by men during the Northern Renaissance period of Henry VIII and "Bloody" Mary Tudor and was particularly prevalent in the works of Flemish and Netherlandish artists.
You get the entire outfit, including shirt, front- or side-lacing doublet, jerkin with or without collar and sleeves, hosen (complete with codpiece!), and trousers. Add the right belt, hat, and shoes and you'll look like you've just taken a break from celebrating a wedding or skating on Holland's frozen canals!
Fits chests 34" to 54" and waists 28"to 50". All sizes in one envelope.
Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History.
