    (One last costume — for now — from Shakespeare, this time for the men.  And yes, it’s another costume with tights.  And a purse!  Notice he’s carrying a rose, a reference to the famous line from the play.)

    Tunic and tights of dove-colored wool; shirt of white mull and cloak of Venetian red cloth lined with pale gray.  Cap of red velvet with gray feather.  Leather belt from which is suspended a pocket.
