Castellated Hose

[OC Richard]

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.)

Not quite hose, but the next best thing - garters! And probably not of much use in the actual kilt hose discussion, but I thought these might be interesting. I asked some friends if they knew anything about the subject, and these two items popped up. Both are said to be late 14th Century. The first is in the Museum of London. I don't know the provenance of the second.

Sorry, the pictures got mislaid.
