I have a commission to do an illustration of Mathieu Da Costa for a stamp and i'd like to get the details right. Da Costa was the first african recorded landing in Algonqian territories. He was likely from Benin or Kongo and was probably half portugeuse (he's recorded as 'neigre' in documents). He worked as a translator so he might have been dressed differently than a working sailor. Since there's no actual images of him i'm trying to get a sense of what someone like him would have worn in the 16th century. I've found this image but it may be too formal for what a typical man aboard a ship would have worn
