Scottish highlanders especially western highlanders wore Irish style clothing called a lena which is a long shirt with long baggy sleeves. It isn't surprising the kilt was made because of how similar the two were.

Many highlanders did even have the foot covered because the foot would get wet from walking in bogs during raids and that is a good way to get your foot infected. Higher class clansmen were like peacocks they liked to show off their wealth in everything they wore. Brightly colored hoses, kilt, and vested jacket all different colors though because it really shows off their wealth.

Oh shit. Does the pattern include seamwidths, or did you cut outside the pattern lines?

You said you would link the pattern "below", but I am not seeing it?

Thank you for the video. It appears that your lining pieces were cut out a bit larger than your outer pieces? Is this correct and, if so, do you suggest doing this?

George the 4th had the gall to wear stewart tartan. That bastard.

Outlander does such injustice to the memory of Charles Edward Stuart. He did not have an italian accent, he was broughtnup in the exiled Stuart court by English and Scottish tutors. They take shots at hom for being atba siege as a teen an not having combat experience but he was raised a warrior prince. His grand father james being an officer in the french army in the cromwell days an a admiral on the soanish navy. They were no strangers to the military arts. Charles lost one battle. Drummossie moor. But henwon at prestonpans an falkirk. He wanted to press on atbderby butbthe clan cjiefs vited against him. Noted Jacobite historian Murray Pittock ststes that at the time there were only 1-2000 low moraled militia, some being recently mutinous black watch, thatblay between his army an derby. Cimberland couldnt have reached london in time to stop an attack. Which could have sent the hanoverian govt to flight. Who lnows what vould have happened. These same clan chiefs were qeary of even crossing onto enfland, which had to be done, for the govt would never let Scotland be. They had to end the threat. Its also stated that charles party got to within war shot of cumberlands troops the night before Culloden. Murray for some reason turned back, causing thenprinces party to fall back, bedraggled an demoralized. Also, despite what the song says, theybdid not choose the ground at drummossie moor. Thats just where it happened as there culloden house close by which theyd used the food stores of. They disparage charles name for not dting on the field. Saying he fled on a horse. He did leave the field. With jos cavalry an a decent chunk of the right wing of his line. Enough so that there were enough left to reform up in the following days where Charles dismissed them. Most of the modern narrative about the 45 is holdivers of post culloden hanoverian propaganda. Its been regurgitated over the centuries. Luckily we have the Lyon in mourning. Aswell asany other post war interviews an records kept. I do not believe my ancestors followed this man if he were some toff buffoon using them for glory. This was a mitary operation thatbwas taken very seriously with all the circumstance an ceremony thatbwent with the time. Ofcourse ppl said bad things about them afterwards. The victors not only write the history books but also dole out their own forms of justice on those they have conquered. This is why jacobitosm became a secret society kinda deal later on. With secret toasts an counter toasts. Such an interesting time. I am a rebel at heart an indo not buybthe narrative the janoverian doggs give us, it pains me to see mkdern scots talk badly of their champion an blame hom for proscription an the clearances. Stockholm syndrome. The hanoverian an peerage did that. Not Charles. He became a badan an alcoholic. I believe because what he lost. An the men who died for him. Audentior Ibo! 🦄⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚔️🦄

Thank you for the tips on how and when to use the long s. It would have been handy to show you writing the long s with your pen. Regarding sealing wax, either wax will not work well for mailing. Just put a period address on your period letter, then pop it into a small padded envelope with the modern address. This will allow one to apply period post marks and such etc.

Thank you for this! Very straightforward instructions, and excellent research. I wholeheartedly enjoyed and appreciated this! 😁👍🏻 (Now I am off to make me one or two...)

I will be attending my first Renaissance festival in November, at 80 years old, and am making my garb. I am a widow, and was thinking of making a wimple, fillet and veil. I will wear a cotton chemise, but the kirtle and surcoat, are linen. I will also have two mid thigh long capes, one linen and the other a loosely woven wool tweed. I have just finished cutting out my mock-ups , and will begin hand sewing soon. Thank you for all the information contained in your video. I just subscribed.

It is lovely!

This is great. I hope you start making more videos somewhen ❤❤❤

You have a very interesting face. That headdress really suits you.

Great job! Where can I find the pattern for these?

As a communist, I deeply disdain and resent such association with circular needles!

Hey Kid, where did you learn all This?

I was going to say a bit of the tape felled over the raw edge would soothe the soul. Hate raw edges so much.

You need to compare these bonnets with 16th century “Monmouth caps” commonly worn in Tudor times.

Is there a decent way to make this on a knitting loom?

are you a man? edit never mind I seen your other videos

😊thanks for sharing 😊

Thanks

Excellent video, thanks! Also you look fantastic in your kit :)

I like your bonnet. But it doesn’t look like Dougal McKenzie’s tam 😢.

Great video. I really enjoyed it. I'm just tentatively planning to try some costuming and was keen to take inspiration from Anne Boleyn too!

When your voice first changes, your brain is still "calibrated" to your old pitch, so you may unconsciously raise it back up.

This is so pretty. I’ve made Jane Seymour’s gabled hood and Elizabeth of York’s gabled hood. I haven’t tried a French hood yet.

I have short hair, coupled with a relatively flat back-of-my-head, so I have a terrible time of keeping any headband/coif on my head.

Thanks for using my music and for the credit....

Is this a man or a transvestite woman

Waiting for some green linen to finish my dark green wool small-clothes. Already made some black wool small-clothes. second time will be more easy I think.

I work for a theater as a stitcher. Your video has been super helpful to me in the last couple weeks while I was working on a jacobean show! I've made 3 so far!

You are so mentally confused. You need serious help.

Such a shame!! You will come to regret it.

Hooray! Great to see you again, safe and - hopefully - sound! (If us history buffs may actually called that... 😂) Aa' the best fae germany!

Wherever you are, whatever you do right now, bless you and be safe!

Ochon, I hope youre well!! Aa' the best from Germany and an auld german teuchter...

Keep up the good work! And be yourself, whatever the odds, it's YOUR life!!! ❤

Pity to haven't you seen of late, excellent work and very educated! Started highland piping an reenactment in the 80'ies and studied history and archeology in the 90'ies, made my living for near 20 years as a self-employed piper (weddings, whisky tastings etc..) so I seem to "ken a wee bit" also after living a while in the highlands in the 90'ies (even more familiar with highlan' lore than some of the natives...😂) I immensely enjoy your videos, clannadh na gael!❤❤❤

😍 I want one now 😂

Hi! I'm new to your channel (thank you weird algorithm) and, in a non-weird way, I would like to compliment your voice! I don't usually 'get it' without watching subtitles, but I was able to listen to you while oft looking down at my own craft project, and still understood the words, so.... yay us! *16th century version of high-5* The Scotch Tape, while in Scotland, made me LOL! (Is 'bonnet" an okay word to use?)

Looks gorgeous.

I'm confused. One video you look like a girl, but sound like a guy, & in another, you looks like a guy, but sound like a girl. Are there 2 of you; twins perhaps?

Looked fuchsia to me.
