refn

By David Ring, from the collection of the ModeMuseum Provincie Antwerpen (Fashion Museum of the Province of Antwerp) in Antwerp, Belgium.

From the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England, UK.

All this splendor was set off by a black shawl kummerbund, and blackish upper vest of the cloth called keem-khab, embroidered with large gold leaves. The vest was made like those of all other Mahomedans, but the lower part of it stuck out as you see painted in Indian prints, and altogether destroyed his figure; and the kummerbund was large and heavy.

1809 March 6, “Embassy to Cabul, No. II. Description of the Introduction to His Majesty the King of Cabul, of the British Attendants on Mr. Elphinstone, in His Embassy to the King of that Country.”, in The Literary Panorama, volume VIII, London: Printed by Cox, Son, and Baylis, […], for C. Taylor, […], published November 1810, →OCLC, column 1329:

Bounty cloathing is to be allowed, in the firſt inſtance, to the corps of Ordnance Drivers, according to the uſage of the Service, and with the bounty cloathing each individual is to be ſupplied on the formation of the corps with a blue turban and a red cummerbund at the coſt of the Government. […] the uniform turban and cummerbund to be afterwards provided by individuals, and kept up at their own expence.

1812, chapter V, in Abstract of the General Orders & Regulations in Force in the Honorable East-India Company’s Army, on the Bengal Establishment, Completed to the 1st February, 1812; […], Calcutta: Printed by R. W. Walker, […], →OCLC, page 196:

[W]e observe both Hindoo and Mahomedan guarding most consciously against solar heat, as well as cold. The turban and cummerbund meet our eye at every step:—the former, to defend the head from the direct rays of a powerful sun; the latter, apparently, for the purpose of preserving the important viscera of the abdomen from the deleterious impressions of cold. This [cummerbund] is certainly a most valuable part of their dress; and one that is highly deserving of imitation. […] In situations where atmospherical vicissitudes are sudden, a fine shawl round the waist forms an excellent cummerbund, and should never be neglected, especially by those who have been some time in the country, or whose bowels are in any degree tender.

1818, James Johnson, “Dress”, in The Influence of Tropical Climates on European Constitutions. […], 2nd greatly enlarged edition, London: Sold by T. and G. Underwood, [et al.]; printed for the author, by Mottley and Harrison, […], →OCLC, page 384:

Richard Middlemas, as the Begum's general or Buckshee, walked nearest to her litter, in a dress as magnificent in itself as it was remote from all European costume, being that of a Banka, or Indian courtier. […] The vest was of gold brocade, with a cummerband, or sash, around his waist, corresponding to his turban.

1827, [Walter Scott], chapter XV, in Chronicles of the Canongate; […], volume II (The Surgeon’s Daughter), Edinburgh: […] [Ballantyne and Co.] for Cadell and Co.; London: Simpkin and Marshall, →OCLC, page 353:

Soon after the arrival of Mrs. Campbell, dinner was announced by Abboye. He came into the drawing room resplendent in his gold-and-white turban. […] His cummerbund matched the turban in gold lines.

1927, F[anny] E[mily Farr] Penny, chapter 4, in Pulling the Strings, London: Hodder and Stoughton, →OCLC, →OL:

Next came a domeshaped sukhpal (palanquin), its silver plated pole being borne by eight sturdy troopers wearing red flowing kurtas, silk kamarbunds, and silk dungarees.

1976, Tapan Ghosh, The Adventures of Shivaji, page 140:

She saw dresses in every color of the rainbow; she saw lime green cummerbunds and pink cummerbunds and plaid ones.

The thin boys with their brush cuts and spotty faces, their dinner jackets and burgundy cummerbunds with matching bow ties, would gape at us.

1922, apparently from Scots buntin (“plump, short and thick (esp. of children)”), itself an old term of endearment for children (1660s); the sense “plump” dates to the 1500s, and may be related to bunt (“belly of a sail”).

1957, V. S. Naipaul, The Mystic Masseur, Pan Macmillan, →ISBN:

All the portraits that hang on the walls of the living room are, I realize, of my mother's family: miniatures of her great-aunts in Victorian bustles and elaborate feathered hats; a gilt-framed oil of her great-great-great-uncle as a boy in pastoral England, wearing a gold riding coat over white jodhpurs and sitting astride a white steed, a King Charles spaniel yapping at them from the foreground of the canvas.

2006, Peter Godwin, When a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of Africa:

Soon Bowie entered, wearing three-tone NASA jodhpurs.

2019, Casey Rae, William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll, University of Texas Press, →ISBN, page 121:

(perjoratively, by comparison to silk) A Queen's Counsel, King's Counsel or Senior Counsel who was appointed as a courtesy, rather than on merit.

Jacky Howe

After the gun shearer John Robert (“Jacky” or “Jackie”) Howe, who in 1890 set a long-standing world record by shearing 321 sheep in 7 hours 40 minutes. He is said to have worn a shirt with the sleeves cut off.

Still, no one has ever thought before of associating a papaw with a “Jacky Howe,” or, say, fruit salad with a flannel shirt.

1941, Queensland Department of Primary Industries, Queensland Agricultural Journal, volume 56, page 171:

1949, Ruth Park, Poor Man's Orange, in 2010, The Harp in the South Trilogy, Penguin, unnumbered page,
He had finished his tea and was sitting in his Jackie Howe, which is a singlet with the sleeves out of it, and called after a famous shearer of the blade days.

As the Jacky Howe was identified with the canecutter so too were the canvas sandshoes which were worn till the canvas rotted.

1990, Bianka Vidonya Balanzategui, Gentlemen of the Flashing Blade, page 28:

The coppers tell me that whenever they pull the old curmudgeon over — and he′s still driving a B-Model Mack well into his eighties — all he would ever be wearing was a Jacky Howe singlet* and a pair of jocks.

1996, David Foster, The Glade within the Grove, page 58:

Men in shorts and navy Jacky Howe singlets were building a causeway across the spill of swift, shallow water.

2002, Kerry McGinnis, Heart Country, unnumbered page:

Occasionally I would see their innards revealed by a gang of men in Jackie Howes with jack-hammers and chinking mattocks picked^([sic]) the sleepers clean of ballast like bull ants cleaning up a fish′s frame.

2010, Roger K. A. Allen, Ballina Boy: A Child's Odyssey through the 1950s, page 194:

(Australia) A type of blue sleeveless shirt worn by sheep shearers and labourers.

(historical) Any Scottish garment from which the above lies in a direct line of descent, such as the philibeg, or the great kilt or belted plaid

I was about to say that I had known the Celebrity from the time he wore kilts. But I see I will have to amend that, because he was not a celebrity then, nor, indeed, did he achieve fame until some time after I left New York for the West.

1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter I, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:

A plaid, pleated school uniform skirt sometimes structured as a wraparound, sometimes pleated throughout the entire circumference; also worn by boys in the 19th-century United States.

A variety of non-bifurcated garments made for men and loosely resembling a Scottish kilt, but most often made from different fabrics and not always with tartan plaid designs.

desc

Middle English: beigh, beiȝ, bē, biȝ, by

English: bee

→ English: beag (learned)

From Proto-West Germanic *baug, from Proto-Germanic *baugaz, derived from *beuganą (“to bend”). Cognate with Old Frisian bāg, Old Saxon bōg, Old High German boug, and Old Norse baugr.

c. 897, King Alfred's translation of Pope Gregory's Pastoral Care
Sē þe ūs ġehǣlþ fram þām stiċe ūrra synna, hē ġeþafode þæt him man sette þyrnenne bēag on þæt hēafod.

The person who heals us from the stabs of our sins allowed a crown of thorns to be placed on his head.

Late 10th century, Ælfric, the Old English Hexateuch, Genesis 38:18

Judah asked, "What do you want to take as a pledge?" She said, "Your ring and your armlet and your staff that you have in your hand."

Þā cwæþ Iūdas, "Hwæt wilt þū tō underwedde niman?" Þā cwæþ hēo, "Þīnne hring and þīnne bēag and þīnne stæf þe þū on handa hæfst."

circular object worn on the body, especially one made of gold or silver: ring, armlet, crown, collar, torque


mufti

en-noun

mufti (countable and uncountable, plural muftis)

Ultimately from Arabic مُفْتِي (muftī, “fatwa-deliverer”, literally “deliverer of formal opinion”).

der

He had a suit of summer mufti, and a broad-brimmed blue beaver hat looped with leaves broken from the hedgerows in the lanes, and a Leander scarf tucked full of flowers: loosestrife, meadowrue, orchis, ragged-robin.

1919, Ronald Firbank, Valmouth, hardback edition, Duckworth, page 91:

The innate reluctance of the Englishman to make himself conspicuous has stood him here in good stead. Except on special occasions, the British officers are almost always in mufti.

1921 October, Maxwell H. H. Macartney, “An Ex-Enemy in Berlin to-Day”, in The Atlantic:

The neutrality, however, causes some peculiar situations, such as that arising from the prohibition of uniforms other than those of the Eireann Defence Forces and the Diplomatic Corps. This would be simple if no one from Eire were a sailor, soldier, or airman in the British Forces, but thousands of them are, and as such they may not wear mufti unless on leave from the B.E.F.

1940 May, “The Irish Railways Today”, in Railway Magazine, page 295:

The sailors in mufti returned with 140 quarts of Bar's Leak, half of which was poured into the condenser.

2002 April 3, Dave Wilma, “First nuclear submarine U.S.S. Nautilus visits Seattle and crew secretly buys Bar's Leak on June 3, 1958”, in HistoryLink.org: Essay 3739:

(uncountable, Australia, British, New Zealand) A civilian dress when worn by a member of the military, or casual dress when worn by a pupil of a school who normally would wear uniform.


dowdy

en-verb

dowdy (third-person singular simple present dowdies, present participle dowdying, simple past and past participle dowdied)

dowdies (present singular third-person)
dowdying (participle present)
dowdied (participle past)
dowdied (past)

Late 16th century. Origin uncertain: probably literally “little poorly dressed woman,” formed from doue, “poorly dressed woman.”
Possibly also related to the Scots dow, meaning to "fade".

Topping the apples with squares of dough allowed steam to escape during baking, preventing the apples from overcooking. Dowdying the crust partway through created the dessert's sweet finish.

2021, America's Test Kitchen, The Complete Cook’s Country TV Show Cookbook, page 743:

(cooking, transitive) To press the crust into the filling during baking, to allow the juices to caramelize on top.


trinket

The origin of the noun is unknown; the word is possibly related to Old French tryncle (“piece of jewellery”). The following have also been suggested:
* From Middle English trenket, trynket (“small knife, specifically, a cordwainer’s knife”).
* From trick (“plaything, toy; trifle”, noun) or trick (verb).
However, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, there is insufficient evidence of any shift of meaning from these words to the current meanings of trinket.
The verb is derived from the noun.

cog

That little trinket around her neck must have cost a bundle.

[H]e's an old man, / A good old man, they ſay too: I dare ſvveare / Full many a yeare ago, he left theſe gambols: / Here, take your trinkets.

1619, John Fletcher, “The Humorous Lieutenant”, in Comedies and Tragedies […], London: […] Humphrey Robinson, […], and for Humphrey Moseley […], published 1647, →OCLC, Act IV, scene i, page 136, column 2:

Hence is the Fair vvith Ornaments ſupply'd, / Hence ſprung the glitt'ring Implements of Pride; / Each Trinket that adorns the modern Dame, / Firſt to theſe little Artiſts ovv'd its Frame.

1713 (indicated as 1714), [John] Gay, “Book I”, in The Fan. A Poem. […], London: […] J[acob] Tonson, […], →OCLC, page 8:

Glumdalclitch vvrapped it [the broken finger from a statue] up in a Handkerchief; and carried it home in her Pocket to keep among other Trinkets, of vvhich the Girl vvas very fond, as Children at her Age uſually are.

This [the hawksbill turtle] is the animal that ſupplies the tortoiſe-ſhell, of vvhich ſuch a variety of beautiful trinkets are made.

1791, Oliver Goldsmith, “Of the Tortoise, and Its Kinds”, in An History of the Earth, and Animated Nature. […], new edition, volume VI, London: […] F[rancis] Wingrave, successor to Mr. [John] Nourse, […], →OCLC, page 361:

James [II] ordered an estimate to be made of the cost of such a procession, and found that it would amount to about half as much as he proposed to expend in covering his wife [Mary of Modena] with trinkets. He accordingly determined to be profuse where he ought to have been frugal, and niggardly where he might pardonably have been profuse. More than one hundred thousand pounds were laid out in dressing the queen, and the procession from the Tower was omitted.

1849, Thomas Babington Macaulay, chapter IV, in The History of England from the Accession of James II, volume I, London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, →OCLC, page 473:

A small, showy ornament, especially a piece of jewellery.

knickerbockers

From the short breeches worn by Diedrich Knickerbocker in George Cruikshank's illustrations of Washington Irving's 1809 A History of New York.

Five men and a woman, two young girls,[…], and a boy […] are at the machines sewing knickerbockers, “knee-pants” in the Ludlow Street dialect.

1890, Jacob A[ugust] Riis, “The Sweaters of Jewtown”, in How the Other Half Lives: Studies among the Tenements of New York, New York, N.Y.: Charles Scribner’s Sons, →OCLC, page 125:

[…] and some gems that represent the tasseled garment that the leader wears show it in a distinctly religious connection. On a gem from Zakro it [the sistrum] is being being carried by a man who does not wear the loin-cloth, but a baggy kind of knickerbockers like the Moslem trousers of to-day.

1907, Ronald M. Burrows, The Discoveries In Crete, page 37:

And it was early morning, and the world was moist, when the crystal-gazer's husband, a freak in knickerbockers with an open coppish and a sabbath gamp, came over the stones outside his house to meet the holy travellers.

clodhopper

Compound of clod + hopper (agentive form of the verb hop). Perhaps affected by analogy with grasshopper. Attested in the sense of "peasant" since the seventeenth century; the extended sense of "boot" or "shoe" dates from the nineteenth century.

Smiling Jim Mead of New York tries on his GI clodhopper boots. He decided to return them "because we couldn't make any altitude with those aboard."

1943 August 16, “Senators go global: Five will fly to all fronts”, in LIFE Magazine:

shoemaker

From Middle English shomaker, equivalent to shoe + maker. Compare Dutch schoenmaker, German Schuhmacher, Danish skomager.

He especially recommended the only shoemaker who, to his mind, had an idea of making a shoe; and Lucy had at least half-a-dozen pair made, fitted, and descanted upon, before he was satisfied that they did justice to the shape of her foot, which proved extremely good when it was properly chaussé.

1833, Arabella Sullivan, Recollections of a Chaperon, volume 1, London: Richard Bentley, page 229:

The diseases of shoemakers receive attention as well as the toxicology of shoepolish.

getup

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-getup.wav

When near the buildings I met a white man, in such an unexpected elegance of get–up that in the first moment I took him for a sort of vision.

1899 February, Joseph Conrad, “The Heart of Darkness”, in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, volume CLXV, number M, New York, N.Y.: The Leonard Scott Publishing Company, […], →OCLC, part I:

The Schnitzelbank Band, each member attired in an odd getup, received many comments for the manner in which the men marched.

1917 October 28, “1,200 Reading Firemen March”, in Reading Eagle, Pennsylvania, USA, page 4:

Oh, I forgot. She had on a get-up that took the attention of anyone that saw her, even in that crazy mob. The better to cut the wind, she had shortened sail and wore a short skirt, black tights, and a skullcap.

[A] parade of costumed cadets trots by: a shark costume, an Uncle Sam getup and three young men in form-fitting bodysuits.

The dress fits her well, but the pattern is rather garish.

"My tastes," he said, still smiling, "incline me to the garishly sunlit side of this planet." And, to tease her and arouse her to combat: "I prefer a farandole to a nocturne; I'd rather have a painting than an etching; Mr. Whistler bores me with his monochromatic mud; I don't like dull colours, dull sounds, dull intellects;[…]."

1907 August, Robert W[illiam] Chambers, chapter VIII, in The Younger Set, New York, N.Y.: D. Appleton & Company, →OCLC:

On the other hand, to arrive after dusk, when the multitude of garish little public-houses are lit up, giving glimpses of crowded jostling bars and taprooms, is an introduction to a fine city well calculated to affect even the most nonchalant.

1951 October, R. S. McNaught, “Lines of Approach”, in Railway Magazine, page 703:

Leela: He gave me mechanical ears / Effective though just a bit garish.

2003 August 10, Ken Keeler, “The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings”, in Futurama, season 5, episode 16 (television production), Fox Broadcasting Company:
