Mors Rattus posted:To the extent that they started the fashion trend of slashed doublets. See, if your garish, expensive clothing is slashed, it’s proof you had the skill to kill a guy and take it, leaving slashes. That's really interesting — is there any literature on this you would recommend? The (couple of) history of costume books I've read never elaborated that much; they usually focus on the sartorial function of the slashes (to display the fabric underneath, much like 18th century polonaise gowns, in which the robe was pulled up to better display the petticoat underneath), so assumed the slashes came into use just to maximize ostentatious displays of fabric.

Mors Rattus posted:It appears the thing I said was an idea contemporary writers had based in the behavior of Swiss mercenaries in the 1870s, but the fashion may predate that. The best citation I can find is Laver’s Concise History of Costume and Fashion. Thanks!
