    Your voice over made me feel like I was watching a relaxing nature documentary, but about clothes. Love it. Also appreciated you saying that we didn't need to see you demonstrate the girding and then doing it anyway. 😉

    It's interesting to see these looks "translated", in a way. It's so hard to tell sometimes how these garments would have looked outside of the heavily stylised artworks, it was nice to see them in a more realistic light. Also, you possess a fine set of legs.

      a fine set of legs *for an academic*

    Thank you for this! Not only is it hilarious, but you're right-- there isn't enough about the topic on youtube. As someone just exploring a budding interest in this sort of thing, it's nice to have a little context and get ideas for research sources.

    The Bayeux embroidery looks to me as though the back of the tunic is brought up between the legs to the front and tucked into the belt, making a kind of loin cloth. I've seen men in Bangladesh tie their lungis in this way when there is a practical reason such as to stop the cloth trailing in water.
    Disappointed you didn't match the under-arm-dog as a key catwalk trend that's being modeled in all of this season's most stylish embroideries.

    This was marvelous! From the fashion show concept to your modeling of the clothes in the “collection”, to your perfect verbal delivery as you describe each outfit, you have done a brilliant job. Also, so funny! Great ending, too. If Monty Python is looking for a new member, they need look no further!

    I started watching this channel because I wanted to make my fanfiction set in medieval Wales less historically atrocious and it's been super useful! But also, the way you bring historical images to life is just amazing. You have a great way of showing us the past and the ending was hilarious.

    I am of the opinion that women in the medieval period needed protection from chafing. I certainly did for 10 years playing in living history. I know so many women who wore bike shorts underneath their kirtles for almost every single era that I'm convinced that this whole 'no women wore underpants' is utter crap. It had to happen. I chafe to *bleeding* in a fast 10 minutes without thigh protection. The fact that we don't have evidence yet is not a reason to lose your sanity and think women then didn't have physiological reasons to wear some sort of braies, a reason beyond our monthly cycle. It's lunacy IMO to think they would have had very active days and didn't need, NEED, something extra. It's simply not logical. And I refuse to think that medieval people weren't logical and practical.

    Well done! I'm coming to the mind that there was a lack of hose wearing in the early medieval period, especially when looking at the Bayeux Embroidery and the Julius Works Calendar.
    Coincidentally, last year in honour of the 1,000 year anniversary of the making of the Julius Works Calendar we made our own. If you would like a copy, just let me know.

    Filmed in 2020 but video quality is worse than in 1980.

    • @TheWelshViking
      @TheWelshViking  3 года назад +3

      I'm not sure it is. In 1980 1080p and 720p digital video weren't available as signal formats. I notice you have a channel too! What kind of recording do you use for your most popular videos? :)

    • @sekhmara8590
      @sekhmara8590 2 года назад

      I can assure you that the quality is way better than 1980. Even beats laserdiscs.
