The lungi is a traditional garment worn in many southern states of India. It's different from the dhoti, in that it is a tubular shape (like

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.
I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

‘tis most fascinating. Definitely costume design ideas to make note of
annoying when shows set in the medieval period have the women with thier hair just long and unstyled and out . girl go put on your wimple girl 🤦♀️
like there are so many fun medieval hair and headgear options, it's so boring just seeing loose beachy waves meant to appeal to 21st century beauty standards

A jewelry company that is just reproductions of historical jewelry found at archeological sites would be so cool.
Gaukler Medieval Wares carries reproductions and artifacts, though his in-stock inventory is small.
Armor and Castings is a Ukrainian company producing a wide range of gorgeous medieval reproductions.
Heart of Oak is a friend and highly skilled artisan selling reproduction glass beads.
Thorthor's Hammer is a very chill dude who makes excellent reproduction jewelry, belt hardware, and clasps from a variety of eras at a really good price.
Elegantly Eccentric makes reproduction jewelry from classical Rome and other cultures of early antiquity.
Also me, if I could ever get my act together.

They have some really cool reproduction and slightly changed but heavily inspired by historical finds jewelry/accessories/knives/findings but my favourite is the profane badges!!
An example of many from their site:
"Profane medieval badge with a horse riding Vulva.
Here you can buy a profane medieval badge replica as verbalization of a pilgrimage sign that shows a vulva riding on a horse.
This unique medieval badge was made after a historical model from the late Middle Ages that was found in the Netherlands and dates from 1375 to 1425 AD.
So-called obscene-erotic badges were very common during the late Middle Ages in Northern Europe, especially in Belgium and the Netherlands, and served for general amusement in the course of the carnival season.
The pilgrim's sign shows a crowned vulva riding a horse, as a verbalization of the Virgin Mary, carrying a flagellum in one hand and a crossbow in the other.
The obscene-erotic pilgrim sign is made of high-quality bronze or in genuine silver-plated and has a pin on the back to wear around the neck or to attach it to the clothing. The vulva can also be attached very well to the robe at the various openings.
The "Vulva on Horseback" measures 3.1 x 2.1 cm and thus corresponds to the size of the historical original.
The obscene-erotic pilgrimage signs of the late Middle Ages represent a subgroup of the profane medieval badges, which include, in addition to derb-erotic depictions of female sexual characteristics, especially personified genitalia such as the vulva riding on a horse, or a vulva depicted as a pilgrim or with wings, as well as numerous forms in interaction with phalli.
As an interpretation for the frequent depiction of vulva and phallus on pilgrim badges of the late Middle Ages, it seems most likely that attempts were made to defuse sexuality through comedy and that these are to be interpreted as joking gifts of love or as a means of promoting communication in the course of initiating sex, especially during the debauched carnival season."
Friends, if you're wary about online shops and want something you can pick up and touch before buying, you can find vendors of reproduction jewelry at medium sized (baronial) SCA events. I don't mean cheap sweatshop produced items that you find in a renfaire popup. I mean actual attempts at reproductions that you can inspect before purchase, and they come with an autistic infodump whether you buy them or not, just ask about the item. If in Ansteorra, I recommemend Honorable Lady Czina Angielczyka for sourcing reproductions. Her and her hubby run a leather booth but have a nice selection of jewelry and hardware to compliment that isn't listed online. If you're curious about that Armor and Castings piece, there's a fair chance she has it on hand.
Get her fired up with a question and you'll get an entire history lesson - it's fantastic.

A page from a Medieval Bestiary written around 1175 showing a sheep, a ram, a lamb, and a goat. Not too much to note from the Clark translation here about the sheep types, it talks about how they move in herds and how they're used for their wool. That little paragraph about the goats is nuts though. It says -Goats are horny as hell, that's why their eyes are like that -Goat blood dissolves stone -They are edible (none of the other livestock entries specify this, just goats)

Throwback to when I self-drafted and sewed a 12th century bliaut back in 2022.
The leather belt is a bit anachronistic, but I didn't have an appropriate option for a woven belt. I also opted for linen instead of wool or silk so that I could wear it for summer festivals in my climate and because I could not afford a good wool or silk.
I had only been sewing clothing for about 2.5 years at this point but YouTube tutorials and a lot of time at home due to the pandemic made many things possible.

Some days ago I posted a compilation of crowns from Medieval Gothic art (this post), so why not try a few centuries before that? Here's some crowns in Catalan Romanesque art of the 12th and 13th centuries.
1 and 3: Altar frontal from Santa Maria de Cardet (High Pyrenees, Catalonia) by Iohannes (National Art Museum of Catalonia/MNAC). 2: Apse of Santa Eulàlia d'Estaon (High Pyrenees, Catalonia) by an anonymous Catalan painter (MNAC). 4: Unknown origin (MNAC). 5: Statue of Virgin Mary of Espona (High Pyrenees, Catalonia) (Medieval Art Museum of Vic/MEV) . 6, 7 and 8: Santa Margarida de Vila-seca in L'Esquirol (Central Catalonia) (MEV). Statue of Virgin Mary of Veciana (Penedès, Catalonia) (MEV). Virgin Mary of Rodona de Vic (Comarques Gironines, Catalonia) (MEV).
