Thanks for that!
They refer to Gaston Phoebus' Hunting Book (c1388) which I'd never heard of. It has an amazing collection of detailed paintings showing the clothing of the period.
If only we had something like that showing Highland Dress!
I wonder what the earliest depiction of castellated hose is. In the Hunting Book it appears on head-dress.
(I posted an image from the Hunting Book, then removed it when I realised it probably violates a number of rules here! It's pretty gruesome.)
