About:
Banneret: a knight who commanded his own troops in battle under his own banner. By his own banner, I intend to mean a banner made by myself. This channel will focus on creating historical reproductions from siege weaponry to underpants. In short, my journey to becoming a medieval knight!

I'm imagining an archaeologist examining a pair of medieval wool hose with funny-looking feet and thinking to themself, "Maybe it was their first go at it."
Braes are a very important garment! After all, when the knickers are in a twist or all bunched up, it’ll ruin the whole day! Foundations are fundamental!
Yours look splendid, are apparently functional and cry out for you go forth and cover them up with some heavy metal and wickedly boiled leather!
turn down the music and it will be perfect
I admire your efforts. Congratulations. Your mail is true craftmanship - thank you for sharing this as well.
Considering the foot portion often had pointed shoes or very lose overshoes I think the minor foot joint seams would easily be covered. Often times in slightly later period the hosen lost the foot portion and were instead a stirrup. Similar to modern day hiking gaiters. Thusly turnshoes and early boots would protect the feet.
This is great! I empathize with the pinning pain! I hate pins so I immediately baste everything after I pin for try-on and such. I highly recommend a leather thimble for when you’re sewing. I have several stashed around the house and they are aces for protecting your fingers! I get mine off Etsy but you could make one just as easily. Keep up the great work!
A simple start, but it turned out good. Making a full suit of armour and clothing to go underneath it is a huge process, so I hope the rest of your project goes well.
Thank you for using the metric system in your pattern, made it a lot easier to adapt when making my own!
Tailors doubtfully would have sewn undergarments. These are considered “household” linens and would have been done by someone related to the person wearing the garment, likely a female relative or wife. As for the thread being black… well use what you have.😉 Your hose look AMAZING and you will improve as you do more.
As someone who enjoys historical fashion immensely, this is genuinely Lovely.
Specifically, I've only run into one other RUclipsr who does men's historical garments. So you are definitely filling a niche.
I look forwards to seeing the rest of your adventures!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Came here from Facebook. Excellent video, I’ll definitely be keeping up with this process. I just recently got into historical sewing myself (& sewing in general) but I’ve only made a couple garments out of thrift store bedsheets so far. My next major project I want to start is actually braies & hose.
Thank you very much! Good luck with your project!
Yes Hugo! You know I was already a fan but now I've got you on tap I'll be getting every last drop of content you put out
Hey great job, I wish my first video was this good. If you like some unsolicited advice you'd get a nicer fit from your hose if you had fulled the wool to give them more stretch, this means you would not have to have so much bag at the ankles. I cannot tell if you cut them on the bias either. If not, this can also be done to to give the wool more sideways stretch also giving you less bagging on the ankle. Otherwise I am really looking forward to seeing more. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I absolutely love your videos by the way! I did cut on the bias but this wool was incredibly thick and would not stretch enough at the ankle without coming apart at the seams when I was pinning it. Next time I will use thinner wool! Thanks for the advice!
@@hugobanneret7702Yes a medium weight twill or broadcloth will definitely make a difference in the fit. I think that we will be releasing a braise video and an hose video at some point, but I am not in control of those ones. I am glad you enjoy our videos, looking forward to seeing your impression. We need to see more ground up impression stuff.
This is very helpful, I appreciate it.
What an awesome Work in Progress! Don't worry about it not being perfect - we all have to start somewhere. And yes, sewing machines can be tempting. But as you progress, you will get used to it and do it quicker. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
This is really cool!
Looking forward to the next videos in the series.
Amazing! Thanks for making this series step by step! Absolutely would love to try follow it some day :)
Great video. Looking forward to more!
Realy enjoyed the video and must salute you to your patience 👏 with the back stitch 😉 there is a much faster way of back stitching, look it up there a videos on RUclips 😉
I will check out your channel and other projects.
That's great video! very pleasant to watch during the lazy december afternoon :) Keep on good work
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice tutorial! Subscribed immediatly!
Experimental sewing!
You would find hand sewing easier if you used shorter lengths of thread. In addition you should not be working both sides of the seam (pulls the thread through on both sides). I realize you are a beginner, but as someone who teaches hand sewing this an easy set of skills to teach!
dude ur getting viewssssss (it’s emily btw)
Are the tights of the 16th century trunk hoz fastened with straps as shown in the video?
1k!!!!!!!
made my own braies out of a pillow case.
how do i tie them .
I wonder if machine sewing it might be more authentic in the quality of the stitching albeit not in the technique
hmm I wonder... I mean machine sewing doesn't sew in the same way: you can't do any medieval stitches with a machine. although my quality of stitching in this video is pretty shoddy it does get better in later videos!
Did knights in battle wear this too?
So stockings are originally not belongs to women.
