[edit] Images
Are these pages too heavy? If the images are smaller, the captions become a problem. Thoughts? PKM 20:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

- Did men's fashion and added galleries. I am extraordinarily pleased to have stumbled across the back view of 1630s clothes. Still researching Puritan clothes. PKM 19:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Puritan influence
I have followed this article from the Cavaliers page. Not my expertise and a very interesting read. During this period in English history, fashion said more about an English gentleman's political stance than at any other time in history. I think the page needs to mention that:
- This is high fashion for the gentle classes, not everyone was wearing this sort of thing as no one could go down to the market and buy a cheap imported rip-offs.
- There should be much more prominence given to the puritan side (Roundheads), as in the long term this has had a much greater influence on male clothing fashions than the courtly male fashions of that the age.

[edit] October 2006 edits
I have made a series of edits to expand this section. Now that I have a copy of Emilie Gordenker's 2001 Van Dyck and the Representation of Dress in Seventeenth-Century Portraiture to work with, I have made some edits to reflect material in that book.
We need information of Louis XIV's edicts about dress that banned ruffs, paned sleeves, and so on at Court (for all? for most, by rank?). I have tantalizing clues but no actual documentation. Anyone?
And I have inadvertantly ambiguated shoes by replicating material under that heading as well as under men's and women's dress; I see it now but I can't fix it right this minute. More anon. - PKM 20:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Fixed the duplicate info on shoes. - PKM 19:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Louis XIII?
<<In 1633, Louis XIV of France issued an edict requiring simplified dress at the French court; ruffs, paned sleeves, and ribbons were outlawed in favor of plain linen collars and cuffs.>>
I am not a fashion buff, but I do know that Louis XIV was not born until 1638. Perhaps you meant his father, Louis XIII? This does seem to be in keeping with his austere style . . .
Cheers, Jessica
