Reconstructing History Pattern #RH515 - 16th Century Men's Cloke - German Man's Schaube or Italian Man's Caputo. Fits chests 34"-54" and larger. All sizes included in one envelope.
In the final decade of the 15th century, changes were taking place all over Europe that would transform Western civilization from the Middle Ages into the Renaissance. As usual, these changes are reflected in dress. The clothing we see in portraiture at the turn of the 16th century gives an indication of the shape and construction of clothing in this new era. This full-size paper pattern comes with complete instructions and historical notes for German (Scahube) or Italian (Caputo) cloak popular in the 1540s-1550s, based on the garments of Mauritz, the Elector of Saxony and Don Grazia de Medici. Embellishment suggestions and period construction techniques included.
