>>64449218Rare to find people these days who remember that film.
>>64448690fucking great
>>64448882They wore pink hair powder on their wigs, which is what this image is trying to convey, I believe.
>>64448690Those calves though!
>>64446378I wear compression shorts at the gym and it's a dangerous game of whether or not gym sluts or gays will hit on me. I've got a couple wheyfu hookups out of it so well worth it. They're also extremely comfy. Was Flanders helmet closer to a sallet or a stahlhelm?
>>64447651>>64448690Cast 'ye off the chains of breeches and retvrn to the unbreeched gaiety of your youthful years!
>>64446378Yeah
>>64448690i was bored
>>64450108>überbased drawfag9/10Very good.Should add something about the dandy slowly dying from tuberculosis (beta cuckold disease) while the Chad Fop is slowly dying from syphilis (Alpha-male disease contracted through wide reaching sexual conquest).
>>64450155>>drawfagDisregard that, I just realized I'm retarded and you didn't draw that.Still, cool nevertheless.
>>64450164it was a 5 min edit on paint lmao. thanks tho.
>>64448882Pink was a masculine color. They stole it from us last century.

>>64450108Didn't one of the most successful French generals in history dress essentially like the fop?>>64450225This is true. Pink was associated with boys and blue was for girls.
>>64450602I assume you're referring to the Grand Conde.
>>64447651That's barely even recognizable as Astolfo.
>>64450831That's the one. Hell if you look at who he fought it pretty much is the chad fop thrashing the virgin dandy.
>>64446543Now this is a /k/ post.
>>64448299Combat cake
>>64446543based an sopranos pilled
>>64448690should've been done the other way round with him picking up a zweihanderlandsknechtification
>>64452094Combat prowess is stored in the ass
>>64452156Why? On the timeline the Landsknechte came before the late 16th/early 17th century fashion that is caricatured in this picture on the left.
>>64446500
>>64453833Based.
>>64452646I don’t like that Katzbalger’s lack a point, what if a Landsknecht has to shank a nigga instead of chopping him?
>>64446543Bucciatti Breaking
>>64450831When you're so skilled that even Bonaparte puts you in the top five greatest, you could wear a damn fursuit to battle and still be credible.
>>64454348Turns out you can do almost anything you want if you're the man who permanently breaks the back of Habsburgs and secures continental ascendancy for France. Hell, you can even rebel against the King before betraying him to those same Habsburgs and you can get out of it with a minor apology to not do that again.
>>64454428The king was in the wrong and he knew it. Conde had been nothing but loyal, indispensible, and yet he was jailed on "suspicions." Yeah, I'd lead a revolt after that kind of treatment. Louis understood that he done fucked up.
>>64448690Weird how increased production/access to fine goods made nobles LESS extravagent, but then I suppose that when even the lower classes can increasingly afford nicer things, you have to change your displays of wealth. Unfortunately, nowadays the upper crust do so by embracing every kind of faggotry possible.
>>64446543I love you (no homo)
>>64452156Need landsknecht himbo
>>64454542It was just a prank
>>64454554Conspicuous consumption via clothing has always and remains a thing. You're just too common to understand or afford it.
>>64446543I love you (yes homo)
>>64446382no, but yes.
>>64455321It's not conspicuous if the plebs can't even tell the difference
>>64446407The sodom below
>>64446543>I saw the face of God and it was weeping
>>64454554Brummel concept of elegance was based precisely in the idea that extravagance and excess should be discouraged and instead we should strive for a more "democratised" idea of elegance where regardless of status and upbringing you could be dignified and proper as long as you followed a few rules. Thay's why in the xix and xx century even poorfucks farmers did not stand out next to rich industrals as long as they kept a suit and tie ready to goIf you want fop times back look no further than the met gala. Now tell me whether those celebrities are cool or we rather need another revolution and to sharpen the guillotine
straightest thread on /k/ rn
>>64456270It ain't /k/ if it's not gay!
>>64456191>>64454554There's nothing about democratization or industrialization to it. It's got a lot to do with protestantism and over-the-top moralizing, self-flagellating attitudes that arose with protestantism.
>>64449285I used to wear tight velvet pants at music festivals and raves, you would be surprise by how well that worked.
>>64456191I would rather be able to spot a rich fuck a mile away than pretend that we're somehow the same. Also the new captcha sucks donkey dick.
>>64448753I was a goth boy in the 90's, had the big hair, wore the makeup, leather, mesh, PVC and cowboy hats, big old steel tipped boots. Most people back then didn't give too much of a shit about weird goths as we'd more or less become part of the environment. It did mean you got good at fighting because there's always someone who'd start some shit in pubs, clubs and just drunkenly staggering around the place to the next watering hole or rave with your mates and girls that dressed like Victorian era harlots>got bullied in school for being a skinny dork kid>at 10, dad sends me to boxing classes>get really good at beating people into a pulpI don't miss the nihilism and crippling depression, but I really did enjoy bashing people and knocking people out. Gets the old endorphin's and adrenaline joggin in the noggin
>>64456191Nah, their style is gay but it's on par with the XVI- XVIII century styles in terms of extravaganza. They would be cool if they were the warrior elite we had during that period and not glorified jesters that should be at the fringd of society and not at its center.
>>64454224They take out their daggers.
>>64446378I don't.If I'm about to dispatch on an operation I need to know my team is frosty as fuck.Nothing's random; leave nothing to chance. We dress for the occasion because it maximizes our chances of a successful mission. Some missions may require us to adorn tactical stealth, others may prioritize mobility in which case camo paint and a simple kevlar vest is enough.But I can assure you "bright and colorful circus outfit" is never the correct choice.
>>64448690Finally someone who recognizes that the Aristo-to-Gentry Pipeline is every bit as dangerous as the Condottieri-to-Landsknecht Pipeline
>>64455427you are a pedophile and should repent
>>64454063That skirted abomination only exists because the King of France specifically instituted a last minute change of rules for the tourney at the Field of the Cloth of Gold because he feared his displays of France's greater wealth and power would be overshadowed by the display of Henry VIII's dumptruck ass.
>>64446543holy kek

>>64457002What a silly puppy
>>64457002>mfw eating da bussy
>>64457002You'll love this then
>>64457020Henry was The Archtiect's first project.
>>64456940>Condottieri-to-Landsknecht PipelineNo such thing.
>>64447651Damn. Why was Western civilization so gay during the medieval and Renaissance period?
>>64456992>Every square inch of your body including the insides of your joints (apart from a narrow gap directly underneath the armpit) is protected by plate and not chainmail>Yes, "every square inch" includes your taint>Has cowters and poleyns to offer additional protection to the inside of your elbows and the back of your knees.>Helmet has a reinforcing comb to protect against blows to the top of the skull>Can mount an additional layer of plate on top of the left pauldron for tournaments.>Each piece of armor is attached to the adjoining sections by pins, hooks, latches, and flanges so your opponent can't easily remove them to perform a coup de grace.>Right gauntlet even locks around your weapon so you can't accidentally drop it during a melee.>Arguably the only flaw is the extra large ventilations holes in the visor, but that wasn't relevant in a highly-regulated foot tournament where arrows and splintering lances weren't issues, and besides, if you could afford to buy this thing you could definitely go and order a second helmet for use in war.>Shows off the ass, bulge, and those sexy, sexy calves (which Henry VIII thought were his best feature)>Even has a little something for the foot fetishists.11/10. Best suit of armor ever devised by man.
>>64446543Put me in the screencap.
>>64452389
>>64456191>where regardless of status and upbringing you could be dignified and proper as long as you followed a few rulesAnd by sheer coincidence, those rules were obtuse enough that you could tell plebs and nouveau-riche from Old Money at a glance.
>>64456191>Thay's why in the xix and xx century even poorfucks farmers did not stand out next to rich industrals as long as they kept a suit and tie ready to go
>>64457314Ye Olde Guccifags
>>64456191The style on the right was called a stroller because during the Edwardian era it's what a man of means would wear going for a casual walk down a city street or in a public park. Even a morning suit (left) was considered semi-formal at best and someone like an ambassador would wear a frock coat to work everyday. It was called a morning dress because despite consisting of a tailcoat and silk top hat it was day wear only. You'd wear white tie to dinner, even in your own home and even if was just your immediate family and not with guests. The dinner jacket (aka the tuxedo) didn't become acceptable to wear in mixed-company until well into the 20th-century. Before that, black tie was what you'd wear when you were having drinks with the boys or at the type of social event that men took their side pieces to and not their wives (i.e. in the presence of *women*, but not *ladies*).The comparative egalitarianism that is the business suit is a *very* modern development
>>64456940I like the Gyaru Landsknecht
>>64446543A work of art this is.
