Unsere Militärhose - our military breeches. |
Nun sind wir endlich mit unserem kleinen Projekt eine französische Militärhose zu herzustellen fertig. Was freilich unbefriedigend war, war die Quellenlage. Die Bildquellen geben praktisch über fast keine Details Auskunft.
Now we finally finished our small
project to produce a pair of French military breeches. It was somehow
unsatisfying to have such a lack of sources. The pictoral sources
give nearly no information about details. We mentioned a written
source in our first blog entry about the subject which helped little.
Therefore we assumed that the pattern of Delaistre just needed a
kneeband and a waistband from the common pattern of the period.
Contemporary patterns in works like the „Meisterstückbuch von
Johannes B. Wolfsegg“ (Linz 1724) with the example „Deutsch
Cavallier Klaidt“ offer some interesting information like this,
that the waistband had just two buttons. Garsault's work „L'art du
tailleur“ show a very similar pattern in 1769, except the special
pocket flaps which you can see in the works by Delaistre and
Wolfsegg. Linda Baumgarten offers a really detailed analyze of a
original pair of breeches, that is dated in the 1750s. The breeches
are very similar with the example by the Frenchmen Monsieur de
Garsault. We used the descriptions by Garsault and the analyze of the
american historians for the tailoring of our breeches.
