As someone who has made clothing with a sewing machine, I've often thought about the agonizing long hours the seamstresses of long ago spent hand sewing tiny, perfect stitches with poor lighting and no doubt a small salary. And then the rich sob wants it cut up! Looks like a wonderful museum. Maybe I'll see it one day. Thanks for showing it.

It was a proof of duelling prowess. Two brothers would wear twin identical doublets ( hence the terms origins ) they would duel with razor sharp rapiers, each endeavouring to maintain the strict pattern. Those that survived the skirmish got to keep the said item of clothing. Very few did. El Zorro of San Diego visited Scotland 2 or more centuries ago, but amended the practice to slashing Z 's along the garment. If the wearer relinquished his chattels with good grace he got to keep his doublet and his life. 🤔 🤺 🤥

My ancestors were grown out of the dirt of Perthshire/Angus (From the Bonnie hoose of Airlie) and multitudes returned to that soil as well. The old home was Alyth and every town in a 50 mile radius had our cousins dwelling there. My Gran and Gramps were from there via Glasgow and Edinburgh to Ottawa Canada. My oldest is going to the auld Country and is going to hike from the Orkney's down the East Coast and then on to Angus and Perthshire. Wish him luck. Best regards, Giovanni.

Wow! That family - whoever they are - must have taken really good care of that outfit! Textiles are very hard to preserve. I'm thinking it was probably given to that retainer for safekeeping. What became of the Stewarts of Urrad around/after the time this clothing was given away? Very interesting video! Thank you so much!!

In the Society for Creative Anachronism, we call that Landsknecht style "slashy pouf". 😂 I wonder if he had a poufy undershirt of contrasting color to poke out through all of those slashes? It's AMAZING to have both the toile and the final garment! Usually the toile gets used as pattern pieces until they disintegrate or get repurposed. Was this one found still stitched up, or brought in in separate pieces? It is fantastic! I wish we had time in August to get to Perth, but our 16 days are already packed full!

I so loved you in "tithe Lost King!"

Why did he nae come to Edinburgh? Cause he wanted to see his fiefdom that does not get mentioned

We saw the Stone at Westminster Cathedral 21 years ago. I'm glad it's home and being honored, not used as a footstool! (We also saw a stone with my hub's name on it. We were a wee bit confused, as his father's side is all German!)

I'm guessing the Swiss army thing is probably a reference to the Landsknechte, I knew something seemed familiar with those slashes across the outfit, though the Landsknechte in germany tended to also have the entire spectrum of the rainbow represented when it came to the colours they wore. So I'm guessing those german fellas were the medieval glam-rockers?

Och! Ye naughty wee boy! Hahahaha!😂 So wonderful to see the historical clothes! Created way back when (some) things were made to last! The museums you visit are brilliant!

I'm always amazed that clothing can be saved for so many centuries. I think slashed new jeans is stupid. Maybe since as a young person we didn't have much money and had to wear torn clothes. Wonder if people of my (lack of) class back then would have thought the same.
