The dress of Scottish mercenaries in Swedish service during the 30-years' war
Hi, I’m about to put together a Highland outfit as it might have been worn by Scottish mercenaries serving in the Swedish army during the 1630s and 40s (apparently most of them served in their civilian apparel rather than issued uniforms). I’m thinking of looking to the Arnish Moor and Quintfall Hill finds for inspiration, but would these garbs (dating from ca. 1700) be appropriate for re-enacting the period half a century earlier? I’ve already finished a buttoned, woollen shirt based on the Arnish Moor find – but was that kind of garment around by the 1630s, and how common were they? Thanks, /Mikael
