Cap first quarter 17th century British For informal occasions at home a gentleman discarded his curled wig for the ease and comfort of a dressing cap. In order to wear a heavy wig comfortably, a man had to wear his own hair closely cropped. Naturally, when the wig was off he presented rather an awkward picture and was exposed to cold drafts in chilly rooms. Dressing caps were made in a wide variety of materials, including silk, satin, linen, and fur. The embroidery seen here - probably the handiwork of a gentlewoman - depicts on one side a fashionably dressed man wearing an undress cap while smoking, and on the other side a lady in a formal dress in a pastoral setting. Gentlemen did not sleep in these fancy caps; they preferred to wear plain cotton or wool versions, often quilted for warmth.. Cap 101826

Tunic 1450-1550 Inca Tunics, known as uncu in the language of the Incas (an ancestor of the present-day Quechua language), were the primary element of mens attire in the Andes, and were worn over a simple loincloth. Tunics of this style have been found on the central coast of Peru but their technical features indicate that they are clearly a highland product. Contact between the highlands and the coast was common during the Inca empire, and this type of tunic probably dates from that time. Presumably, they originate from a highland area adjacent to the central coast. The construction of the tunic is peculiar, and its visual effect can be compared to that of the coastal imitations of this highland style. The exclusive use of camelid hair is another highland feature. Made of two loom pieces sewn together, the structure is a combination of discontinuous, dovetailed warps and discontinuous weft in the lower section and tapestry and weft-faced faced plain stripes in the upper section.

Cuirass (D-maru) 16th century Japanese The d-maru is a close-fitting cuirass with a multisection skirt developed to meet the demand for lighter armor. Of lamellar construction and fastening on the right side, the d-maru was initially worn in feudal Japan by foot soldiers armed with staff weapons. By the Muromachi period (1392-1573), however, it gained widespread popularity among men of all ranks as foot combat in close quarters became the predominant form of warfare. With its green, white, and vermillion lacing, this cuirass is a rare and fine example from that time.. Cuirass (D-maru). Japanese. 16th century. Iron, lacquer, leather, gold, copper, silk.
