[Ardariel]

Вчера полвечера переживала, что рисую слишком сложный какой-то крой рубашки персонажу, а другой не хочется, а оправдан ли этот, все-таки у них там не промышленное производство, а если так не шили, то это ж все переделывать... Сижу такая, как кот в том анекдоте, "весь день орал — встать лень было", а сегодня вот:

«The outer garment for the man's upper body was the kyrtill, the overtunic. It was constructed from wool and was constructed using surprisingly complicated patterns, with many pieces that needed to be cut out of the fabric and sewn back together. However, when it was all laid out, very little fabric went to waste.» ©

А вот еще. Модные шотландские & ирландские штанишки, межпрочим:

Trews — triubhas (pr: troovash)

James V wore trews in 1538 so their longevity is not in doubt. They were always made of tartan and great ingenuity was used in their manufature. They were cut on the bias - on the cross - so that they had a certain amount of elasticity and clung to the legs. The sett of the tartan was usually smaller than seen on the kilt and the hose was carefully crafted to match on the seams which ran up the back of the leg on the outside - a little like the seams on old-fashioned ladies' nylon stockings. Having no pockets, the wearer would often wear a sporran - usually hanging from the belt rather than on the front - and a plaid would also be worn.
Nowadays they've disappeared altogether except possibly within re-enactment societies. Their successor in military circles are in effect very tight 'drainpipe' trousers.
