Another, similar Hofkleiderbuch also from Bavaria and also from the 16th Century. I think this one also includes heralds and bodyguards

I for one am glad that codpieces are no longer a thing, but also bemoan the absence of long coats in day-to-day attire at large…

…The skullcap or headscarf with a frilly hat is also a bit foreign to the modern viewer, though in this weather it looks somewhat practical!

One of the things interesting about these is how many of them are wearing armor under their clothing, including iron caps under their hats.
