Samurai's ranks and dress code in Late Edo period

AMAZING reference chart put together by Nadeshico Rin, showing the different attires worn by the men of the buke class in and about Edo Castle. OP stresses the chart is by no means exhaustive - but it helps picturing things SO MUCH!

For easier reading, I have adapted the chart with english translation. Rin has also created illustrations detailing each attire, I'll translate those in coming days under the tag "samurai kimono".

You'll find the transliteration below cut:

The court ranks - Mibun 身分 or Ikai (位階)

Find more about the exact titles here.

一位 Ichii (First court rank)

三位 Sanmi (Third court rank) and 四位 Shii (Fourth court rank)

Goi 五位 (Fifth court rank​)

Omemie ijô 御目見 以上, the "upper" vassals allowed to request audience with the shogun

Omemie ika 御目見 以下, the "lesser" vassals (not allowed to request audience with the shogun)

Rin does not mention the second court rank (二位 Nii) so I am not sure where this one is supposed to go ^^;

The clan/families - Kamei 家名

徳川将軍家 Tokugawa shôgunke (Tokugawa Shogun clan)

尾張徳川家 Owari Tokugawake (Owari Tokugawa clan), 紀伊徳川家 Kii Tokugawake (Kii Tokugawa clan), 水戸徳川家 Mito Tokugawake (Mito Tokugawa clan), 徳川御三卿 Tokugawa gosankyo (Secondary Tokugawa branch clans: Tayasu, Shimizu, and Hitotsubashi)

三奉行 Sanbugyô, & 下三奉行 Shimosan bugyô (magistrates, governors)

旗本 Hatamoto (general term for upper-rank vassals of the Tokugawa)

御家人 Gokenin (general term for lower-rank vassals of the Tokugawa)

@alflearweek Day 6: Fierce (warriors are fierce right? right?)

Anyway, after getting his class changed Alfred says: "I guess I look good in anything, huh? Another benefit of training so hard." Even if it looks stupid or massively wrecks his stats. So, I have the little headcanon that Alear says "you look good" or something to that effect after every class change.

How did this happen you ask? Well....

Celine ships it, and nothing can stop a plotting Celine.

Also because my hand writing is bad: Transcript time!

1st picture: "You look good ♥"

2nd picture: "I guess I look good in anything... huh... another benefit of training so hard"

3rd picture: Diamant: "can you imagine!? going into battle with only half a coat!?"

Ivy: "not to mention the DIVINE ONE has to help you so she sees that!"

Diamant: "Honestly! Being a warrior must be bad!"

Celine: "hehe"

4th picture: Celine: "Alfred doesn't want to bother you, but he REALLY wants to be a warrior... do you think you could help?"

Alear: "oh! Absolutely! I'll do that right now!"

5th picture: Alfred: "wait you think I look good?"

Alear: "FORGET I SAID ANYTHING! so embarrassed... uurgh..."

Alfred: "You look good too."
