Male Medieval Fashion

Categories: Older Windle, About Sims3
Here are a few examples of how I dress my male medieval (adult/YA) sims.
 
Knitted Sweater
Sweater from Base Game, knitted
 
Trousers from EA Store
Pants
Jacket/shirt
Kilt from EA Store, the top I am not sure where I got it - but it's a good example that you can take a "modern" clothing item and make it older with the material and colors.
Pants
 
Pants from EA Store.
Clothing
Sweater
 
These items are also from EA store.
Brown Top
 
To the right - a formal outfit. Long robes, we need MORE of those. And I tried to hide the tie (icky modern invention) making the shirt white also.
Robe
 
As I already pointed out, the Create-A-Style-system in Sims3 makes it very easy to customize any clothing item. For a medieval "touch" I pick materials as leather, and simple fabrics, knitted is perfect. Color schemes for the more simple sims are best in browns and greens, which was what the poorer people could dye at the times. The occasional black and blue, but red was very rare and expensive. If white, then offwhites.. bleach was also something expensive, and overall they didn't wash often, so white clothes became more brownish/greyish.
There are no good custom clothing content for male sims from old times at this point. We lack robes, kilts for all ages, capes, and so on (for all ages!). I am sure we will get them eventually.

I don't find the men as difficult to dress (though they are frustrating) as the little girls. Are there *any* long skirts or dresses for female children? They really are the one group I can find nothing at all suitable for. I did find one long skirt at TSR, but it is strangely shaped and nearly all patternens distort hidiously on it. :(

Gastfyr, is that the one with pockets? That's the only one I found. I agree on the girls outfits. We need long skirts, long dresses, long nighties for them. Fast. They are complaining. ;)

Yes, the one with the pockets. I found I could recolour it in solid colours or vertical stripes and it looked ok, but the pockets really made it unsuitable for noble girls who would need something more refined in my oppinion. Maybe I'll just have to figure out how to make TS3 clothes just for this reason. :P

Thanks for this! I was wondering how you dressed your men. It's definitely true that we need more medieval-ish clothing for all ages. Hopefully, it will come in time. For my part, I have been trying to convert some TS2 medieval clothing into TS3, but it has been with somewhat mixed results. :/

I've been adding to the medieval content list at Simswiki.info... men are much harder than women. For little girls: here is that long skirt, also SandraR at TSR has some princessy-looking stuff for kids. Some of the victorian women's clothing at AAS can also work for women.

modthesims.info just had a medieval challenge, and the creator named Kiara made clothes for boys, girls, teen boys, teen girls, and adult men and women
