[Sca-cooks] Proper Kitchen Attire

[Terry Decker]

IIRC, Terence Scully's Early French Cookery has some information from Maitre 
Chiquart on proper kitchen attire.

If you read German, you might try Vom Mundkoch from Rumpolt, where he talks 
about the cook and his duties.

I know that there are proper medieval analogs to whites and checks, but i'm
not really able to convincingly prove it in written form. I can find
pictoral evidence, no problem, i'm just having a difficult time coming up
with anything to back that up.

So, I pose to you this question: What is the correct attire (generally) for
cooks during the middle ages/renaissance and what documentation do you have
for it (so I can replicate the data, not some big weird authenticity test or
anything)?

I am sure that this has come up before, but i'm having a difficult time
finding solid information.

I thank you all in advance for your answers.
