The Elves! The elves! What are we going to do with the Elves!

The Clothing of Tolkiens Elves are a mystery for me, the only depiction of one we have is Beleg who is wearing a pair of breeches, a short black jacket, stockings, a frizzled shirt and a pair of red pointy shoes. This paints a rather mumbled picture, and i'll be working hard on trying to dechipher i...

Re: Finally an understanding and a name

Welcome back! I am quite new here (been active some months now) so it is jolly to see old faces (for many others, new for me) return. It is very brave to speak about your fight with mental illness, speaking up only lets more people realise that they too are not alone!

Re: A bit of Shire goodness

Lingonberries are also self-preserving! If you fill a bottle with them and put some water in it they will be fine for a year (or many more) without going bad, due to their own natural preservers. They were used in the winter as a source for vitamin C. They are a miracle berry, and i could see many p...

I image it being a overcoat that he wears over a linen tunic. The coat is embroidered with silver threads. The buttons are silver too, as is the belt.

Re: Let's Talk about Legs!

Short Wool hoses are also great for walking in the forest, and can be used as shoes if the original pair gets wet. They seem pretty useful.

They just seem like such a natural inspiration of the Dunedain.

Re: Art thread? Might take some fun small requests if people want.

Its quite decorated, so it might be the clothes of a higher rank Dunedain, with the bands being artifacts from older Arnorian clothing. They might actually be from that time, just sewn onto more modern jerkins. Or they could have been made in rivendell, and gifted to the rangers by Elrond. I actuall...

Re: Visual Language of Arnor vs. Gondor?

Ive been wondering about this too, and have been enchanted by romano-british art and clothes. Especially as they seem to mirror the early northern dunedain, i suspect the rangers of the late third age are much less urban then the romano-british. But i think there is a lot to be inspired from in them.

Re: Let's Talk about Legs!

I think that would be a good idea, i could see something like a short pair of the thorsberg trousers being fit for most eriador peoples (Maybe even dale, after te dwarven infleunce of the west.). Making a pair of naalbound or sewn hosen/socks would fit. I think i have an interesting post about what ...

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d0/e8/4b/d0e84b85f278d7c614e29bed1cffc6aa.jpg The roman Braccae might have been similar to what the more simple folk of eriador used as breeches, as opposed to the 18th century one the hobbits wear. It might have Arnorian origins, but that is purely speculation. It al...
