Ankle Bars Brims Cloaks Conversing Dagger Garments Mantles Narrow Noble Nobleman Outer Pouch Resembling Shoes Strap Turned Voluminous 14th Upper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 14th century print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of noble and middle class men's fashion during the medieval period. The voluminous outer garments, reminiscent of cloaks or mantles, were a signature feature of this era, providing both warmth and a sense of grandeur. The nobleman on the left wears a fur-lined mantle, its rich fabric draped elegantly over his shoulders, while the middle class man on the right dons a simpler, yet still voluminous, woolen cloak. Both men complete their ensembles with fur hats, their narrow up-turned brims protecting them from the elements. The intricacies of their footwear are also noteworthy. The nobleman's shoes, adorned with bars, a pouch, and a dagger, signify his status and readiness for combat. The middle class man's ankle-length shoes, secured by a strap, are more practical and understated. The two men are engrossed in conversation, their body language suggesting a deep connection and mutual respect. This print offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the noble and middle classes during the 14th century, a time when clothing was not just a means of protection but also a powerful statement of social status.
