I am looking for patterns or clothing fitting to that period and region.
Specificly
Pants (I tried sewing them based on one pattern.......it was a traumatic experience, we don't talk about that)
Tunics
Shoes
Vests
And basicly anything else.

Re: 14th Century Turkish Attire
Sat, July 7, 2007 - 7:56 PMHi Brad!
A turban would be a great place to start, as it is dramatic and sets the theme of your outfit. You will need a long piece of very thin, not very stiff fabric for this: cotton, rayon or linen voile, gauze or even cheesecloth would be good. White is fine, but if you find other colors, go for the jewel tones.
To tie:
tinyurl.com/2hzdy7 (this is a PDF file)
tinyurl.com/27rebt
tinyurl.com/keq5d (a modern Sikh style, but with illustrations)
tinyurl.com/2gb92z (more links)
Bear in mind that some sites are for dancers, some are for modern Sikhs, some are for those who are covering up chemo hair-loss. Experiment until you like what you see.
Next:
Shortcut garb! make your average T-tunic (tinyurl.com/yp5eb2). Slit it up the middle. Hem/finish the newly cut edges. From the top edge to about your waise, sew lots of little buttons (shank type, not the kind with holes in the face) on one side, and a strip of loop braid (tinyurl.com/2xc822) for button loops on the other. I've used cording or bias tape to made my own loops. You can also do lacing, in a zig-zag pattern. You are going for something that looks like this: tinyurl.com/ywyfoh
Wear over a long , loose T or caftan.
Anything that looks like a caftan will work. Folkwear has a few kinds of shirts that will work, or at least give you ideas. Avoid the poufy or gathered shirts, or anything with a collar or yoke. Most "pirate" wear is right out.
Pants: go to the local fabric store, look in the pattern books for modern men's pajamas, and make a pair of men's PJ bottoms several sizes too large. Cut them at least six inches longer than the pattern piece. Follow the directions for construction. You will pull in the excess with your waistband, and you can add a drawstring in the hem on each leg. Voila, big and bold turkish pants! Solids or stripes work great.
Boots or shoes with a pointed toe are good. Slide-on "slippers" are good, too, especially again if the toe narrows. Mongol boots are pretty good if you can get them. Think cowboy footgear without the heel, and you have about the right look.
Who has more advice? Because mine is kind of skimpy. -

Mon, July 9, 2007 - 7:10 PMFolkwear does have a few good patterns, I've used them in the past. And the modified T-Tunic is always a good bet.
Google search clothing of that style and look at what the men are wearing. You might also search the Yahoo Groups for the Persian and Middle Eastern SCA groups - they have a lot of good links. -

Tue, July 10, 2007 - 5:39 AMI love the Folkwear patterns. I wish they were carried in more retail stores. It's kind of a pain in the butt to mail or net order them, but what ya gonna do?
Eridun, you icon shows you in a nifty turban! Did you make that?
