Making a 16th century Man's Jacket -- Part 1

The Modern Maker workroom is working again! In this video we learn how to make a 16th century jacket from a Spanish pattern that was published in a book more than four hundred years ago. Published during the Elizabethan era, this Spanish text has layouts for many different kinds of clothing from dresses, to jackets, to corsets (stays), petticoats, cloaks and more.
For this lesson I will explore the world of tailors that didn't have paper patterns available as a crutch. Armed with nothing more than proportion tape measures, a piece of tailor's chalk and a diagram of a jacket pattern, a skill craftsman could create a remarkable garment.
For the early modern enthusiast, this jacket has a far reaching wearability for various time periods. It is so common and easy to make that it spans a nearly 300 year period of history.
The world of historical clothing just isn't complete without directions to cut out a simple jacket like this one.
