Figure 6.45<br />
Fouquet miniature showing the trial of the duc d'Alencon<br />
Figure 6.46<br />
1453-55 Rogier Van Der Weyden, St. John Alterpiece<br />
Notice the seam allowance showing at the center back of the hosen on<br />
the right.<br />
There are some lovely pictures from the early 1500s showing the butt seams for joined<br />
hose, but I have found none from the period we’re discussing.<br />
As far as lining goes, figures 46-48 clearly show that at least the top part of the hosen was<br />
lined. However, figures 46 and 49 show cases where the top part of the hose was not<br />
lined. There is an Italian picture that shows the lining only being at the top of the hose<br />
(figure 51) but I have not found an equivalent picture for northern Europe.<br />
