Renaissance Costumes Men


Your Renaissance Faire costume decision should begin with the class you belong in. This decision will help you build your character and guide your choices for purchasing clothing. You should also choose your Faire theme. English fairs have English costumes while Celtic and Scottish fairs focus on Irish and Scottish attire. You'll have a much easier time selecting the correct costume if you're attending the English version.


To purchase proper Renaissance costumes, you need to know your body measurements. These measurements should be taken to ensure that your outfit is comfortable and fits well. Also, remember to choose clothing that will allow you to breathe and move easily. Sizing for Renaissance costumes is different from that of modern clothes. To buy the right size, check the sizing chart provided by the retailer. Also, remember to order well in advance and pay attention to the sizing instructions on the garment.

Fabrics: Clothes can be made from many materials. Both cotton and linen are historically accurate fabrics that should be worn by the majority of people. Because it is both durable and comfortable, linen is a great choice. Linen is an excellent fabric for Faire, as it is easy to clean. However, linen can shrink after the first wash. The material isn't as comfortable as cotton in either case.

Clothing for noblemen was adorned with embroidered decorations and wall hangings. They could also be tailored according to the profession, with intricate designs and heraldic devices. It was also possible to purchase expensive imported materials to embellish the clothes. It's important to remember that clothes from the twelfth century onwards were quite lavish and expensive. For example, the clothing worn by a clergyman would feature a story about the life of Christ.
