1170: A Glimpse into Medieval England's Masculine Fashion This evocative image transports us back in time to the heart of medieval England, circa 1170. The Englishman depicted in this photograph wears an intricately detailed costume that reflects the fashion trends of the era. Dressed in an ankle-length tunic, he dons a short cloak that is fastened at the neck with a distinctive brooch and at the waist with a belt. The tunic, made of heavy wool fabric, is adorned with vertical lining and a V-neckline, while the cloak is lined with fur, providing both warmth and style. The Englishman completes his ensemble with a pair of gloves, a practical accessory for protecting his hands from the harsh elements. The gloves, like the rest of his attire, are meticulously crafted, with intricate stitching and decorative details. The brooch at his neck is a striking feature of his outfit, serving both as a fastener and a symbol of his status or affiliations. The belt at his waist holds his tunic in place and adds definition to his silhouette. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of medieval England, revealing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating functional and aesthetically pleasing clothing. The Englishman's attire is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the period, providing us with a valuable insight into the lives of our ancestors.
