@JubalBarca trying to find out about hair styles of sailors in the 13th and 14th century
@JubalBarca @bookandswordblog I was hoping I might find through to a paper or something from the image search side. Alas that wasn't to be :(
@quixoticgeek @JubalBarca @bookandswordblog If you contact drachinifel on youtube, he might be able to give you a reading list of sources from the age of sail, or point you to primary source period art pieces?

@JubalBarca @quixoticgeek my general expectation would be that all workers in that period dress and tend their hair similarly, modulo things like a butcher's apron. In general see https://manuscriptminiatures.com/search?tag=872#results (no way to filter the hashtag by date so you have to page forward)
@bookandswordblog @JubalBarca I'm wondering if the constant salt water spray and wind conditions on a boat would make maintaining hair harder than a labourer on land. And thus affect the styles chosen by sailors ?
@bookandswordblog @JubalBarca that link is absolute gold. Thank you so much! Perfection!
Try DuckDuckGo, I searched with early renaissance sailors as a picture search.
@quixoticgeek Ooh, interesting.
Not sure what would depict or discuss that much: if it'd help, I can have a nose through some conference directories to see if anyone jumps out whose work might include that sort of information? Or @bookandswordblog might have more idea of who might know than I do.
