For braies I'm using a pattern similar to this one. You might want to lengthen the centre gusset as suggested by period depictions. My braies reach mid-calf and are fitted with a leather belt running through a folded "tube" at the waist.
This is a simple and useful shirt pattern. The shirt should be somewhat loose, maybe 10-20 cm (4-8 inches) bigger than your chest circumferance. |
Thanks for these! I'm thinking I want the braies to hit right around the knees. I've also seen some with smaller draw strings in the hem of the legs, is this acceptable?
As for the shirt, I was thinking of doing a half-sleeve, but I haven't really seen any references to support short sleeved shirts, is this acceptable also?
Thanks again!
