[@killthecensors58]

Oh my god, I wish I could just tell all the people who think that they'd overheat in those clothes that linen and wool is much more breathable than modern clothing. Essentially today we're wearing plastic bags over our skin. Think about it, when you sleep in your beds, you place the blankets with the most polyurethane plastic on top because that is much more heat reflective than the cotton blankets. Also, for all of you people saying that it must have been dreadfully uncomfortable and hot, think about it for a minute. Do you really think that your ancestors were so stupid that they'd go about wearing clothes that would give them heatstrokes? Really? No. People haven't changed since then. We always preferred comfort to discomfort. One more thing to consider. Ever heard of Muslims? Look at how they dress in Saudi Arabia. You understand it's pretty hot in Saudi Arabia, right? See, when you don't wear polyurethane plastic all the time, your clothing is much more breathable. They're not dropping dead from heat stroke in the desert, your ancestors in Europe wouldn't drop dead either.

[@raggedyhaggity250]

Very cool, love your point

[@hotjanuary]

Ro Bastard, last summer, I wore long cotton dresses and a thin white long sleeved cotton blouse as sun protection. I can tell you I was a million times cooler than when I wore shorts and a tank top. I was so much more comfortable. Add a straw hat and I was able to step outside during the hottest days of summer. No disgusting sun block clogging my skin, too, making me hotter. This was 35*C weather in the shade.

[@raggedyhaggity250]

@@hotjanuaryits better to cover yourself in the heat with breathable clothes as sun protection than taking on the sun head on. I live in southeast asia and ppl working hard labour will don some sort of hat or mask.

[@lilychu8912]

Yes. High-qualify natural fabrics are not cheap though. I splurged on two pairs of well-cut linen pants a while ago and during hot weather, they are cooler than wearing shorts while keeping my skin protected and appropriate for non-casual settings. However, the cost/ wear worked out very well for me: I found myself wearing them more often than cheaper clothes because they were so comfortable.

Also, the weather and temperature was very different in those times. Europe had experienced a mini ice age for a while. The people from the past dressed accordingly to what the temperature was.

The richer women's sideless surcoats, with the shoulders falling off and the sides so deep & open don't look very practical, that's for sure. I don't know about the "Gates of Hell," though; the grumpier of the men of the clergy probably had brain fever from their unwanted celibacy and so they blamed women whenever they caught sight of a woman wearing anything except a completely shapeless bag.

i keep seeing comments on the many layers of clothing seeming redundant.. It was a very Logical and Necessary thing to do --- and actually if you have ever worn linen you will find it quite cool to wear (& if it gets wet its COLD) - in a world of No central heating & not even heated stoves - just open fires meant it got Seriously bone chilling COLD even indoors. Linen, unlike now was Much less expensive so layers were then as now, a way to stay warm. the more layers or adding layers of wool was designed for warmth and welcomed. The covering of hair had great practical reasons as well. again having to do with warmth more than much else. when it was a major production to heat water to wash long hair you did what ever you could to keep it clean as long as possible head coverings did that - protected from dirt and ash (from open fires) etc & the laborious act of washing the hair was needed less often have seen/done this myself so i know these things work - far more comfortable overall than modern clothing

[@flapkatt6094]

laundry was done only on an as-needed basis. Common folk did not have more than one set of clothes. Cost was the driving factor. Washing bodies was not done generally more than once or twice per year, to celebrate sowing seed and then reaping the harvest. The rest of the year you wore your clothes to do everything from eating, sleeping, working and any other activity. Poor people just didn't have access to water, soap was most likely herbs or fire ash mixed with lard or other fat. No one worried about body odor because everybody, even the wealthy and noble, stank. truly wealthy people would carry dried fruits, flowers or herbs to hold against the nose, for truly offensive odors. Finally, if you were wealthy, your servants did all the work and survived only by what was given to them by their "betters", unless they were fortunate enough to be able to farm. The past is never as pretty as Hollywood would have us believe. People lived hard and died young. Especially the poor.

[@svartirbjorn197]

well, the dark ages is commonly accepted to have taken place from around 500 to 1066 CE, when the middle ages began. they are referred to as the dark ages because of the lack of written documents from the period after the fall of the roman empire, thus making it, from an informational perspective, dark. so the late 11th century to around the 1450's was the middle ages. the time period portrayed in this video is the high middle ages, and the 12th century is later in the early middle ages, placing the two times a little ways apart, however the clothing would be still similar enough that there would be very little difference.

[@fiedelmina]

for the people who ask, what did they do when they had their periods: 1. there was probably more female underwear around in the middle ages than is generally shown. Male researchers don't like the idea of it and there's very little research into it. 2. Consider that women in the past were on their periods FAR LESS OFTEN than we are today. A woman has no period when she is pregnant and neither when she is breastfeeding a baby (for a certain time, after which fertility returns and the possibility to become pregnant and with this periods start again even if she can keep breastfeeding the first child). There was no contraception available then so women would have had babies very often. Also when your nutrition is lacking, girls mature phyisically later in life than today and if the nutrition situation is very bad and you're starving, your period stops. this effect is known in modern women when they suffer from anorexia. Frequent times of starvation might sadly have been a regular experience for many people in the middle ages. 3. underwear, also for men, could be constructed in a very simple way (a cloth and a string...) and it's not far fetched to say that women could fashion something to wear a rag between their legs during the period.

[@notthedoctor8621]

It's true that it was basically an unspoken topic until the 20th century but to be honest women used old fabric which was a nightmare in itself because they couldn't dry them "in the open:" even if it was in their own house. There was too much stigma. Although it's true what you say about pregnancy, miscarriages, and sex (Do tearing) and post baby bleeding was still very common. Also is it true that women never menstruate during breastfeeding ? That s not exactly true, as some of us are born 10 months apart and of course some siblings are only a year apart. Menstrual products were feminist products in themselves but they didn't start becoming marketed until the twenties

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

I think so, or they would use rags as well and would make make shift pads/ tampons with things like wool and moss and would fasten it to hold it in place. Either way they made strides to at least hide it cause it was considered ' shameful' to have your period. Also keep in mind women had fewer periods back then due to malnutrition and overall poorer health back then and women went through menopause quicker back then because of that and shortened life expectancy. So it was not as ' problematic' back then when basically in your thirties you were already barren cause you are ' too old' to have a period and have kids.

You can tell when the different orders were founded according to the style of the habits that they wore. It was usually plain, practical clothing of a working woman of the time and place where the order was founded. Over the centuries these have been modified and simplified somewhat, but as recently as the 50's and 60's when I was growing up Catholic, the nuns of various orders wore very elaborate linen head coverings and dark veils over them. Summer habits were lighter, in cotton, and winter habits were of wool. I always found them very beautiful, but as Sister Constantina said, as she was the lifeguard at the pool - if she had to save someone, she'd sink right to the bottom, with all the layers of clothing !

Just imagine having to carry water for a kilometer and do it until you can fill a bathtub... Moreover, heating water was costly for normal people too. This meant that it was quite often that the husband went first, then the wife and then the kids according to age, all in the same bathtub. Also, a small fun-fact: many deaths occurred at water sites. Drunks fell into ice-cold rivers while taking a leak, women tried to get water, or wash their clothes and fell into them and couldn´t get out again with their soaked clothes (which were very heavy even when dry). This led to communities making fences wherever people fell into water so that they would only access it at safe spots. This habit continued to early modern times and I know a case, where it happened a few years back (kid drowned, owner was force to fence off the lake).
