http://www.facebook.com/englandcast or englandcast.com Clothing was
incredibly important in the 16th century because, at a time when
the middle class was rising and upward mobility was available for
the first time, your clothing could show who you were, how wealthy
you were, what class you were, and all sorts of other things about
you. This episode looks at both the perfectly normal (woolen
undergarments) and the bizarre (bejeweled furs). Also, if you want
to come along on our trip to England this Spring, check out

Thanksgiving to my American friends out there.
