Yup. Not as though they had the same sizes as we apply to the mass manufactured clothing of today...Never have had a comfort issue though.

Historically...One of the reasons I got out of the scene before the 17th century-it was the devil to find a proper wig for a reasonable price, and as no gentleman of the era would be caught without one...I suppose the attitude was misplaced. One can be as historically accurate as they want to be...or not.
