15th century joined hose! They weren’t the easiest thing to make, but they were worth it. They are for my new character, “Geraldine”, for my new Swordcraft warband, “The Hounds”. They are made from 100% boiled wool and navy in color.
To state the obvious, I am not the same size as the average man, so I had to create my own pattern for these. It took a fair amount of time, a lot of calico, and a lot of mistakes. I am very happy with the result, though!
Joined hose are basically 15th-century pants - they’ve come a bit further than 14th-century braies and hose, and actually cover your bum, which is nice (I was getting pretty sick of having a cold backside at Quest!).

Miniature Ivory sculpture art composition to commemorate the Royal wedding of King Charles VIII of France to Princess Anne of Brittany held in 1491.
The ivory artwork is carved into the form of an opening walnut the insides depicting the two figures of the Royalties surrounded by maids of honour and court palace officials. Both sides are signed in German as Karl VIII and Ann as well as dated 1491. The text is already faint due to age and time, but still readable under magnification.

Helena Ivanovna of Moscow (19 May 1476 – 20 January 1513) was daughter of Ivan III the Great, Grand Prince of Moscow, and an uncrowned Grand Duchess of Lithuania and Queen of Poland as she would not convert from Eastern Orthodoxy to Catholicism. Her childless marriage to Grand Duke of Lithuania and later King of Poland Alexander Jagiellon was a constant source of tension between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Instead of guaranteeing peace, Helena’s marriage gave her father Ivan III an excuse to interfere in Lithuanian affairs accusing Alexander of mistreating Helena and repressing Orthodox believers. This became the pretext to renew the Muscovite–Lithuanian Wars in 1500. The war ended with a six-year truce in 1503; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania lost about a third of its territory. Despite political tensions and religious differences, the marriage was a loving one and the royal couple was close. After her husband’s death in 1506, Helena wanted to return to Moscow but was not allowed. When she planned to run away, she was arrested and reportedly poisoned.
