'Winter' from his Four Seasons series provides a lovely example.[48] The University of Toronto's online 'Hollar Digital Collection' shows several images of women wearing hoods.

He gives several examples from the late C16th. The first mention of "bombasy" is in a draper's bill (Clothing, 1589 Edinburgh University, Laing ms II. 2.9: drapers bill to Margaret Livingston, "Item to be a doublet to the said Mr Thomas thre els & half tw eld bombasy at xxxs the el"). The second is mention of "bombasy" in a merchant's inventory (Merchant: Alexander Park d,1570, NRS ECC8/8/2, p.102, Edinburgh Merchant, Flemish goods and price, "Item ane steik of bombasy price therof xlj s."); Viveka Hansen informs us that "According to ‘Svenska Akademiens Ordbok’ the word ‘bombasin’ or ‘bombasäng’ in Swedish had different meanings at different times: like silk/wool, woollen fabric, cotton qualities, cotton/wool etc. 3 references to the C17th in this Swedish source, including "Engelst bommersin", "Skåtz bommerssin", "Hollensk bomersin .. Hamburger bomersin".[70]; Dr Stephen Snelders notes that "in Dutch bombazijn was originally silk, but later cotton used especially for lining and workman’s clothing. Related to moleskin."[71]; Cynthia Chin comments that "even in popular C20th fiction, Margaret Mitchell used a black “bombazine” to style Scarlett O’Hara’s mid-C19th black mourning dress that made her look “a trifle elderly” in the 1936 “Gone with the Wind”; Dr Kimberly Alexander adds that "bombazin has yet additional meaning/composition in the first half of the C19th, much like camblet".

Cheese cloath ("[FFEVERSHAM TO LONDON] Ellen of ffeversham Thomas Balden master...24 peeces of cheese cloath", 1658)[154]; COMMENTARY: Pseudonymous Zippyman818 notes that both butter muslin and cheesecloth are used in modern cheesemaking. In this modern usage, cheesecloth is a loosely woven cloth used for lining colanders, making draining sacks, covering air-drying cheeses and bandaging both hard and soft cheeses, and butter muslin is a tightly woven cloth used for draining, pressing and bandaging both hard and soft cheeses.[155] Muslin predates cheesemaking cheese-clothes as a cotton-fibre textile, with many uses, including clothing and upholstery. Zippyman818 gives a further primary source example from 1602, in which canvas appears to be the cloth used for cheese-cloths: "In May 1602, 2 1/2 yards canvas, for cheese-clothes cost 20d."[156]

It is a dense material, which in the seventeenth century was used in the dyeing of wool and in the manufacture of ink. Copperas was produced in Kent in the late C16th and early C17th at Deptford, Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey, and at Whitstable.[192] A major C18th production site for English copperas was at coastally located Walton in Essex, where pyrites were washed out of London clay cliffs by the river Naze and were collected on the shore by "copperas pickers".[193]
Cordevant (alt. Cordivant, Cordovan) ("about seaventeene bales of Cordevant Skins", 1659)[194] COMMENTARY: Paula Marmor: Cordovan is supple tanned and dressed kid or goatskin originally from Cordova (now Córdoba) in Spain; also called 'Spanish leather'. The term 'cordwainer' for a worker in fine leather attests to the importance of cordovan leather as a commodity in Medieval England. C17th cordovan should not be confused with modern (shell) cordovan, an equine leather used in high-end shoemaking, or the rich red-brown colour named for this leather.

Elands skinne (alt. elk skin) ("one elands skinne", 1649)[265] COMMENTARY: Dutch historian Mark Ponte notes that "Eland" is Dutch for the Eurasian Elk (alces alces), which is closely related, but distinct from the North American moose (alces americanus).[266] He provides several Dutch language examples showing the transportation of elk hides ('eland huiden') by sea. The first example, dating from 1663, concerns the salvage of a ship with 380 dried elk skins near the city of Rouen. The ship and captain were from Rouen and the skins were loaded for the Amsterdam merchant Abraham Chapman, probably destined for the city of Amsterdam.[267] The second example is a notarial deed from 1684 about the Dutch ship Gouden Krui that stranded on the way from from Arkhangelsk to Amsterdam, with amongst other thing 'eland huiden' (elk skins).[268] Dutch curator, researcher and author Menno Jonker notes that elk skins were used in C17th clothing, giving the example of the use of the skin for "the so called 'kolder', a yellow sleeveless jacket - worn by militiamen".[269] Costume researcher Paula Marmor notes that both ox hide ("buffalo") and elk hide were used in the making of buff(e) coats or 'kolder'. She highlights the work of military specialist Keith Dowen (2015) on the origins, production, design and construction of seventeenth century buff coats.[270] Textile historian Viveka Hansen notes a 1776 observation by Anders Sparrman from the Cape Province (5 Jan. 1776). ‘Eland, or Kaapse Eland, (the Cape elk, or more properly the elk-antilope), is a name given by the colonists to a species of gazelle which is somewhat larger...than the hartbeest...’. Colin Greenstreet suggests that this C18th example probably reflects the Dutch or Afrikaans influence on the European naming of African species, and that C17th examples of intra-European trade are likely to refer to the Eurasian Elk (alces alces).SECONDARY SOURCES: Keith Dowen, Journal of the Arms and Armour Society, vol. XXI, no. 5, March 2015, pp. 157-188[271]; Image of Heerenkolder', 1660-1670', Centraal Museum Utrecht[272]

Washable, as wool was not, linen in various weights and qualities was used for shirts, smocks, collars, and cuffs; for tablecloths, towels, and napkins; and for linings and working clothes. As canvas, sailcoth, and sacking, it was an important component of commerce. Linen's role in everyday life waned with the widespread availability of cotton in the C.18th.

The species grown in Europe was Rubia tinctorum or common madder. Madder was grown in England, but was also imported in quantity to serve the textile trade. Eric Kerridge calls it "next to woad, the commonest dye stuff" (Textile Manufactures in Early Modern England, page 167[475]). With various mordants, madder produces a range of reds, oranges, and roses; together with woad, it produces purples and murreys; and in other combinations it is a component of a wide range of colours including blacks, browns, and tawnies. Madder remained an important commercial crop until the introduction of aniline dyes in the C.19th. SECONDARY SOURCES: (1)'Rubia', Wikipedia entry [476]; (2) Eric Kerridge (1985).

Napkins of rose and crame worke [FROM A 1666 INVENTORY OF A RICH LONDON MERCHANT] ("two douzen of napkins of rose and crame worke")[501]; COMMENTARY: Textile historian Viveka Hansen states that from her experience of listed linen in Swedish C17th-18th estate inventories etc, she thinks it most likely… | Damask woven linen napkins with a pattern named “rose and crame worke” (quite common that patterns are difficult to identify). Hansen adds that the "crose and crame" pattern would have been in the weave and most probably in the complicated damask technique. Colin Greenstreet had suggested that "rose and crame worke" might refer to "rose design embroidery and macramé lace or fringe of some type", citing Sylvia's Book of Macramé Lace (London & New York, 1882), which refer specifically to a "course holland towel, embroidered with coloured cotton and white thread, and finished off at each end with knotted fringe".[502] M.J. Logue is unconvinced of this explanation, arguing that macramé was only introduced to England into the court of Queen Mary in the late C17th. However, the above mentioned napkins, if with macramé fringe, could have been imported from Italy, or elsewhere. They appear to have belonged to Elizabeth Ashburnham, the third wife of wealthy London merchant Sir John Jacob, who survived Jacob's death. Logue also argues that "worke" was a common term for a weave, which is consistent with Viveka Hansen's expert opinion. Logue also notes that "'crame' apparently means bought from a pedlar, usually a Scots expression" and that "Sir John Sene (1681) says 'Ane pedder is called ane merchand or cremer, quha beirs ane pack or creame upon his back'" (De verborum significatione).

Norwich stuffes (alt. Norwich stuffs, Norwich stufts, Norwich-stuffs) ("forty peeces of Norwich stuffes", 1656)[517] COMMENTARY: Dr Susan Mee writes: According to Ursula Priestley, who has written widely on the subject, 'the term Norwich Stuffs came into use in the early part of the seventeenth century to describe a specialist range of light-weight fabrics, usually of mixed composition, that evolved from the New Draperies' (Ursula Priestley, "The Fabric of Stuffs: The Norwich Textile industry, c.1650-1750," Textile History, Volume 16, Number 2, Autumn 1985, pp.183-184[518] See also, Ursula Priestley, The Fabric of Stuffs: the Norwich textile industry from 1565, The Centre of East Anglian Studies, 1990[519]). Norwich Stuffs were light-weight worsteds, made using long stapled wool which was combed to align the fibres - thus resulting in a smooth worsted yarn. Other fibres, particularly silk, were mixed with the worsted in order to add interest. Norwich master weavers were very skilled at making slight variations in the weave of the fabrics so that each could be promoted as a 'new' product. The main characteristic of Norwich Stuffs was their sheer variety - 'of infinite varietie and difference of Sortes, Figures, coullours and prices' (Priestley, Textile History, Volume 16, p.184). In order to try and avoid imitation, Norwich Stuffs were recognized by a Parliamentary Ordinance in November 1650: An Act for regulating the making of Stuffs in Norfolk and Norwich.[520] PRIMARY SOURCES: "An Act for regulating the making of Stuffs in Norfolk and Norwich", British History Online.[521]SECONDARY SOURCES: Ursula Priestley, "The Fabric of Stuffs: The Norwich Textile industry, c.1650-1750," Textile History, Volume 16, Number 2, Autumn 1985, pp.183-184, (online edition (subscription required)); Ursula Priestley, The Fabric of Stuffs: the Norwich textile industry from 1565, The Centre of East Anglian Studies, 1990, ISBN 978-0906219294.

Oaken bark ("Hopewell of Maidstone Morgan Hall Master...two load of oaken bark"[525]; COMMENTARY: Heather Knight notes that oak bark was use for tanning animal hides, adding that "tanners use cattle skins whereas tawers used other skins such as sheep, goat and deer".

Michael Pearce: There is an interesting letter from 1616 asking an Edinburgh tailor to make a "blak Ryssilis grosgrane doublet and skirt of the newst fassione".[592] Paula Marmor: 'Rissels' (alt. Rissells, Ryssells, Russel, Russell, Russells, Scots Rissillis) is also the name of a type of cloth made both in Flanders and in England. Peter Taylor points out that one piece of "broad Russell" was exported to Elbing in 1616 from London. Paula Marmor: OED has citations for russells from the late C15th. Bruges produced what the English called 'satin of Bridges', which usually had a linen warp and silk fill or weft. "Rijssel, Lannoy and Armentieres also made Bridges or similar silk and linen satins" and later "turned their attention" to half-worsteds or satins with linen warps and fills of "tops" (rough wool)(E. Kerridge, Textile Manufactures in Early Modern England, p. 47[593]). Norwich Russells were similar satin weaves made originally entirely of worsted yarn, but they could be made of any fibre. "Rijssel and other Continental towns had previously made satins renversis or reveches and the [Norwich] Russells Company copied these in worsted." Called in England 'reverses', these "were figured satins with damask effects" made by reversing the weave to bring the matte twill finish to the right side (Kerridge, p. 48). "An Act for regulating the making of Stuffs in Norfolk and Norwich" of November 1650 specifically excepts from its jurisdiction "such Stuffs as are under the Regulation of the Wardens, and Fellowship of the Mystery of Russel Sattins, Sattins Reverses, and Fustian of Norwich making, within the said City of Norwich".[594].

Would [SEE ALSO "ENGLISH WOAD", WHICH MAY BE DIFFERENT COMMODITY] ("John of ffeversham Thomas Rabbidge Master...2 loads of would for dyers...")[814]; COMMENTARY: Dr Samantha Thompson notes an entry in a botanical work by George Don (1831) for the herb "Reseda Luteola". Don identifies multiple common place names for the herb, including "Dyer's-weed, yellow-weed, weld, woud, woold and wild woad", and also "Dyers'-woold". He states "Dyers formerly made considerable use of this plant; for it affords a most beautiful yellow dye for cotton, woollen, silk, and linen. Blue cloths are dipped in a decoction of it in order to become green...The entire plant when it is about flowering is pulled up for the use of the dyers, who employ it both fresh and dried." Don distinguishes "Reseda Luteola" , or "Dyer's-Woold", from Woad or Indigo.[815]; Woad ('Isatis tinctoria') is an indigo dye-bearing plant of Assyria and the Levant, grown extensively in the past in Northern Europe.[816] SECONDARY SOURCES: (1) 'Reseda Luteola', in George Don, A General History of the Dichlamydeous Plants, (London, 1831), pp. 287-288[817] (2) 'Weld (Reseda luteola), in Wild Colours - Weld Dye Plants, online web resource[818] (3) 'Isatis tinctoria' (also called woad, dyer's woad, or glastum), Wikipedia entry[819] (4) 'Glossary of dyeing terms', Wikipedia entry, online webresource[820]
