Elizabethan bonnet

[Pleater]

I have a very indistinct reproduction, in black and white of 'A Horsleydown Wedding' 1568-9, by Joris Hoefnagel, where the male costume is definitely very revealing of the legs - shoes, long stockings, short hose - that is those little puffy shorts with vertical strips, doublets, jackets slung over one shoulder, or long loose sleeveless coats to the ankle, or something capelike, knee length worn over both shoulders.

(edited in later)
I have found it on line under a different title.

Do you have a precise date for your costuming?

During Mary Queen of Scots' time Scottish dress was considered barbarous and the Scots themselves, savages. Alas my book on costume gives no indication of what the barbarous dress consisted of.
