>In b4 personal army
I'm in need of some help, /his/. My manager at work is involved with this club called the SCA. It's kind of like LARPing but it's all about historical accuracy. Anyways, he fights and I'm thinking about joining so I can beat the shit out of him without fear of repercussion.
The long and short of my supplication is I need help finding historical art or good modern replicas of clothes from Belgrade, Serbia in the 1490's. The problem I'm running into is that when I'm trying to research it, most of what I'm finding is Ottoman shit but Belgrade was still a Christian stronghold in the Ottoman Balkans. I'm not too worried about it being too complicated because my wife sews really well, but she needs a pattern. If I know what I'm looking for, I should be able to talk to one of the SCA people to help me get the pattern. I just need to know what they wore there (bonus for patterns though)
Anyone have anything they could share?

This might help, although most of the surviving Serbian art from that time period is unfortunately religious/iconographic and so not the most representative of contemporary dress.

You’re unlikely to find clothes from that exact time and place, but some of these are reasonably close, and the text describes the changing fashions.

(Also keep in mind the margin of error in the dating of some of these pictures is pretty large, approximate centuries are sometimes the best we can do)

>most of what I'm finding is Ottoman shit
Of course, the Serbs were Ottoman lackeys in that time period. They aided Mehmed I against his brothers when Timur wrecked the Ottomans' shit and they were the weakest they'd ever been. Then they aided Mehmed II in taking Constantinople. Then they aided the Turks in conquering the rest of the Balkans, and most of Hungary.
So I'd say that Ottoman shit is pretty accurate.
