...ars sine scientia nihil est...

Somewhere, and I swear it was somewhere on livejournal, there is someone who posted a link to an extant Houppelande. It was from a country like Hungary or the Czech republic, or Slovakia... and it isn't anywhere else. It's just a photo on a museum website, with no diagrams or anything like that.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? (Even if a reply is 'I know what you're talking about, but can't find it either' I'd be happy!)

When I'm more awake, I will look at this article in Lithuanian about clogs closely.
It does seem to have some dates and places named for 13th century and earlier pattens though. :)

Oh, and people wondering where the mention of Galoshes comes from, it's because Cicero mentions Gauls wearing leather-soled shoes, which is often interpreted as being an early style of patten.

Edit:
The 13th century clog mentioned is from Rotterdam, and while it is in the history museum there, the Clog Museum has a photo and some undated pattens.
