So, I've been doing some research into the clothing found in fechtbuch and ran across this wrestling manual which has some great views of men's clothing, but most specifically the same outfits from many different angles and positions. Makes it an interesting study for recreation since you can see how the body can move in the clothes.

Fabien von Auerswald, 1539, "Ringer kunst : fünff und achtzig stücke"
