I'd say that it wouldn't be very surprising if a man didn't always wear braies, if he had a long tunic on. The Scottish, as far as I know, didn't wear any as well. But I remember I recently read a text where someone criticized the Scottish for having no braies - he regarded it a sort of a scandal. I'll try to find out where it was, but am very sceptic about it...

Actually, I've seen a couple of illuminations (that go with the "warming oneself by the fire" motif that is often seen for the month of January or February (forget which) in medieval calendars that tend to support the "no underpants" theory. Why? Well, it was obvious there were no underpants by the parts of women's anatomy on display :-) Susan _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume --------------------------------- Moody friends.
