Finished garments - Sailor's ensemble with grey russet cassock, red petticoat and yellow checked slops

• Finished garments
• Tudor Tailor exclusive

Man's cassock, petticoat and slops made as part of The Tudor Tailor's research into the dress of sixteenth century sailors and mariners. The clothes are also suitable for a lowly or labouring man from the 1540s to 1603.

The ensemble consists of:

Wide-legged slops made from specially commissioned checked russet wool dyed yellow. The slops fasten with a single button and a hand-stitched button hole in the front of the waistband. The slops are unlined.

A petticoat of red worsted lined with unbleached linen. The red worsted is pieced over the chest and there are no fastenings. The garment pulls on over the head.

A cassock made of grey, undyed 'sheep-colour' russet wool lined throughout with unbleached linen. The cassock is trimmed around the neck opening and hem with a black linen tape and fastens at the neck with three handmade cloth ball buttons and tape loops. The sleeves are fastened at the wrist with three cloth buttons and hand-stitched buttonholes. All finishing is carried out by hand and no machine stitching is visible inside or outside.

A red wool knitted thrum cap made by Sally Pointer.

All garments were worn only for a photoshoot and a small number of events. They are in very good condition. 

The white linen shirt and shoes are not included.
