My SCA persona is Spanish, and I have an interest in the period to which you refer. I found a wonderful book by Ruth Matilda Anderson entitled HISPANIC COSTUME 1480-1530 with 569 illustrations in black and white and 8 in foll color. I dont remember where I got the book, but I believe I ordered it from some mail order catalogue of historical books. It is published by Halliday Lithograph, copyright 1979 by the Hispanic Society of America, New York. It has the first half of the book divided into a section "Men and their Dress Occasions" and the entire book is made up of small sections of paintings and statues with notes about each type of clothing for men and women both. It has excellent documentation of the year and person who wore that particular article of clothing. Within each section there are sections entitled "Hair Styles" and another one "Headgear" down to "Footwear." I hope you could locate this book and it would be helpful to you. I have learned a lot from the notes in the book.

Wederstrandt <nweders at mail.utexas.edu> Newsgroups: austin.org.sca Date: Wednesday, August 19, 1998 5:27 AM Subject: Re: BG - Spannish Garb The Dutch were controlled by the Spanish in the latter part of the 17th century. Philip II, husband to Mary Tudor, was King (emperor) over them. So it would be logical and appropriate for you to find heavy Spanish influence on the Dutch. (and vice versa) It's fun to note that the Dutch were thorns in Spain's side during this time. As another side note there is a period (1650+ Spanish Tailor's book that has been reproduced with patterns and such. It's pretty cool.

Wederstrandt" <nweders at mail.utexas.edu> To: bryn-gwlad at Ansteorra.ORG It took a second but I found the info in the UT Online Catalog. The name of the book is The "Tailor's Pattern Book: 1589 facsimile" by Juan de Alcega, Published by Carlton, Bedford, 1979. It is translated into English. ISBN # is 905585065 It's a very neat book so if you can find it you should have fun! ALso Janet Arnold's books on English costuming have some good tips on construction of doublets and such.
