Are Henry the VIII clothes Still around or on display?
I wonder if all or King Henry VIII clothing from the 1500s are around today? are they on display?
he spent aprox 1 million pounds a year on clothing so where did it all go?
as for people who have no clue rotten 500 years" they have king tuts clothing still from before
Christ thousands of years old,so do wake up. this King spent a million pounds a year on clothes
it would be interesting to see the designs of the time not in oil paintings but the real thing. I find it hard to believe it was all torn into rags that is a lot of clobber.

The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance awarded the Mayor of Waterford in 1536. It is on display in the Waterford Museum of Treasures in Waterford, Ireland.

One imagines his personal apparel were gathered up and sent to Ye Olde Charity Shoppe upon his death. You see, the Parr woman was a stickler for keeping things neat and tidy, and let us not forget that the chap was quite obese. I daresay one could have made quite a spacious and cosy tent out of his thermal vests.

As far as i know the only things left of henry's that he used to wear are suits of armour made for him,there is one made for him as a young man and one made towards the end of his life,he was 6 foot 2 ins tall,which was very tall in those days,and the later suit of armour has a 54inch waist!
