What is /fa/'s opinion on traditional Celtic/Germanic clothing?

[Anonymous No.17385698]

Dunno why, but this shit always looked extremely cozy to me, and significantly better than what came in the later eras. Its kind of minimal and plain, but at the same time still very pretty. Even when they are made more modern in the cuts/designs they still seem very beautiful to me.

Yeah thats true. A lot of the photos I see of people wearing these are extremely larpy, historically incorrect, or just badly put together/fitted. When you get something thats drawn correctly or worn in a historically accurate manner though they look fairly cool and look like something you might see in a small rural town somewhere. The fact that they are functional as well are also really nice.

I still find it really funny that the Germanics had beanies and phrygian caps

If you remove the cape and the belts and perhaps replace the headwear with something akin to a beanie, it might come off as whatever-curent-core.
Like keep the baggy pants, the long sleeve and the bandages and you got yourself minimalist streetwear.

I always assumed hobbits instead of dwarfs because they used dugouts in especially cold areas, or areas where timber was not as widely available.

I can see it. I saw another anon posted a thread about neo-folk clothing and I couldn't help but think of this stuff instead. It would be cool to have a western movement like the Hanfu, trying to restore traditional clothing and culture.

If i'm not mistaken, the UK has plenty of communities centere around medieval/pre-medieval stuff. They are intermixed with your average RPG guys and...actual LARPers, lmao, but i don't find it to be a bad thing.

I wish America had more stuff like that. The only thing that really comes to mind is maybe a ren faire, which is basically dress up/cosplay 99% of the time. The only other area I can think of that does something similar is the AFA, but they might as well be a larp too.

Europe genuinely has a decent LARPing scene AFAIK. Perhaps it's a little bit easier to immerse yourself when there are castles and stuff.

Im less into larping and more into historical recreation/revival. Kind of interesting in that in the US's case, whites are getting more into their ethnic history with folk wrestling, HEMA and even pagan stuff becoming more common.

"traditional" does not mean "old"

traditional means transmitted through oral culture and/or informal convention

this sort of dress stopped being worn 800 years ago and hasn't been traditional since then

They are still traditional. The clothing styles grew and changed with the people, but somewhat ended up coming back around with "modern" dress standards. Sometimes they were changed to fit different purposes/lines of work like the leg wraps being used in military uniforms, sometimes they ended up being almost as they were before the shift to more medieval clothing, like pants.

how are these traditional when they're archaeological reconstructions? there's literally no tradition involved. RECONSTRUCTION.no oral tradition. no convention. reconstruction of historical fashion based on literary and archaeological sources. tradition does not mean old. traditional germanic or celtic clothing varies by country and is what you call folk dress.

Because modern clothes grew out of them and are their direct descendants. Some of the articles of clothing even managed to be around in the late 1800s, early 1900s, like the Klappenrock. Its the same with other bits of material culture, and can even be found in something as big as your house.
