Buttons – haberdashery for reenactors
My latest tailoring exploits are late medieval men's clothing – doublet, cothehardie, robe… For this occasion I made a few handfuls of typical haberdashery accessories 🙂
In the Middle Ages, in addition to buttons cast from metal, textile buttons were used, i.e. those made from a piece of fabric. And it's no wonder - such buttons are also used today, although not very often.
The buttons are made of: a disc of thin linen fabric, a small brass disc, a ball of cotton wool (fortunately available) and a piece of thread.
Super – simple but brilliant, which is what I like the most. Greetings.
Very interestingly written. Cool article.
