  • The Mystery of the Wings on Random Stunning Garments Re-created From Piles Of King Tut's 3,400-Year-Old Laundry

    (#9) The Mystery of the Wings

    Tut's wings required more fashion sleuthing than his other clothing reproductions. Arthur Mace, who aided Howard Carter while excavating Tut's tomb, mistook them for ceremonial headdresses: “Found that so-called child's tippet' was really a head covering in the form of a protective bird with wings stretched out behind.” After reconstructing the four garments, Dr. Vogelsang-Eastwood and her students tried them on in different ways and discovered that they were upper armbands, not hats.

    Tut wore these falcon wings of Horus in pairs, one on each arm with a wing draped over his front and one over his back so that his chest was completely enfolded. The Horus image may look printed onto the fabric, but the birds were constructed from individual pieces of red, blue, and white dyed linen sewn onto the base. Because the cuffs were extremely small, Tut either wore these wings when he was very young, or he had super skinny upper arms.

  • Gloves on Random Stunning Garments Re-created From Piles Of King Tut's 3,400-Year-Old Laundry

    (#11) Gloves

    Tut was entombed with 14 pairs of gloves, which is a lot for a guy who never seems to have worn them. Several of the gloves were fingerless gauntlets designed for holding the reigns of his chariot, and yet archeologists have yet to uncover a single image of Tut wearing gloves while driving his chariot or doing anything else for that matter. And Tut's gloves proved challenging to reconstruct, from the fine linen to the intricate lotus blossom pattern, so it wasn't like the ancient makers hashed them out of the cheap stuff like the socks.  

    The only documented case of any early Egyptian wearing gloves is Tut's successor, Ay.  On his damaged tomb walls, Ay is shown receiving gloves as one of many gifts from Tut's dad, Akhenaten (circled red in his swag pile), then wearing them gleefully out of the palace to the oohs and aahs of his adoring crowd. After that, gloves went the way of socks and disappeared into the back of ancient history's closet.

  • The Heb-Sed Outfit on Random Stunning Garments Re-created From Piles Of King Tut's 3,400-Year-Old Laundry

    (#3) The Heb-Sed Outfit

    This child-sized tunic says festival all over it. The repeating pattern of Heb-Sed hieroglyphs, most noticeable along the trim, shows that it was made specifically for Tut to attend the ruling pharaoh's jubilee celebration in Memphis, Egypt. It's the only one of Tut's garments that researchers can pin to a specific event, though it's unclear which pharaoh was celebrating his Heb-Sed. Most didn't arrange for the celebration until their 30th year of rule, though that didn't stop Tut's father, Akhenaten, who put on a Heb-Sed only three years into his reign.

    Tiny Tut may have worn this garment while watching his old man prove he was still physically fit to rule by running eight times around a ritualistic track wearing nothing but the two crowns of Egypt, a short kilt, and a strapped-on bull's tail. To top off this royal track event, the pharaoh ran in the “company” of a real sacred bull named Apis.

  • The Pear-Shaped King on Random Stunning Garments Re-created From Piles Of King Tut's 3,400-Year-Old Laundry

    (#12) The Pear-Shaped King

    While reconstructing one of Tut's loincloths, Dr. Vogelsang-Eastwood discovered that Tut's measurements were roughly 31, 28, 43. These numbers may seem random coming from what looks like a sloppy cloth diaper, but Tut's undies were tailored to fit him with precision, and the tiny waist measurement was reinforced by his belts which fit snugly around his tunics.

    There's lots of speculation about why Tut had such a feminine shape from the waist down. If there's any truth to Akhenaten's statues and wall art, Tut's dad also had round hips so it could be an inherited trait. There's DNA evidence that Tut's parents were brother and sister, increasing the possibility that in addition to a clubfoot, he suffered from a genetic illness that messed with his hormones.

  • The Tunic And Sash Combo on Random Stunning Garments Re-created From Piles Of King Tut's 3,400-Year-Old Laundry

    (#1) The Tunic And Sash Combo

    An ancient Egyptian tunic was made from a long sheet of linen sewn up the sides, with two holes left for arms and a large one cut in the middle for the head. The only accessories they had to hold this sheet together were sashes, which ranged from simple strips of cloth to tapestry-woven designs (right) and Amarna sashes.

    A sheet and sash may sound like an easy Halloween costume, but the threads used to weave Tut's linen tunics were so fine and dense that it was difficult for the Borås Weaving School to reproduce the same sheer quality; the hand-spinning techniques needed to make such threads were quashed in most parts of the world by the Industrial Revolution. The weavers finally found linen of ancient Egyptian quality at a mill in Bergamo, Italy, where the world's top design houses go fabric shopping.

  • The Falcon Tunic on Random Stunning Garments Re-created From Piles Of King Tut's 3,400-Year-Old Laundry

    (#5) The Falcon Tunic

    It may look like harmless hippy-dippy beachwear, but this tunic is covered in powerful imagery. Falcon wings spread out from either side of the neck so that when Tut put this tunic on, his head became that of the sky god, transforming him into the “Living Horus.” The pretty blue flower pattern inside the red rosettes symbolized Tut's kingly authority and his ability to live forever like the sun god Re who was said to rise each morning with the opening of the lotus blossoms on the Nile. 

    Down the front, hieroglyphic trash talk is woven right into the fabric: "The good and mighty, son of Amun, born of great joy, who tramples all foreign lands, king of upper and lower Egypt, lord of two lands, son of Re, of his body, his beloved, Tutankhamun, ruler of the Southern Heliopolis, given life, like Re, for all eternity." 

    One can only hope Tut went full-on, boho-chic warrior and paired this tunic with his flip-flops that show Egypt's bound enemies on the insoles for him to crush beneath his bare feet.
