Which Faire are you going to? The last time I went to Sterling, NY, they didn't allow any weapons to be worn, peace-tied or not. Over-caution carried to a pathetic degree. Little kids couldn't even carry wooden toy swords!

Anyways, getting back to the "historic accuracy" issue, great-kilts vs. philabegs, etc. Sure, RenFaires are hardly beacons of authenticity. The same can be said of many Civil War events, but would you wear a WWII uniform to the latter...?
