Z,

Its too bad Kevin Kinney didn't go into production of these because they are very comfortable.

There are a couple of things I need to fix with this outfit. I would like a different shirt and I am hoping Star will make me one. I'm going to send Brian (woodsheal) a photo of the one she just did for Sinbad and get his thoughts. Also I need to do something different with my hose.

The knit hose are really not period at all. I see that some use a simple tied gaiter and others the clahdah (sp) ..the tartan material hose. Of course bare legged/bare foot would be most appropriate but I don't think my shoes would fit without some sort of sock.

I'm also going to change the sword and am saving my pennies for a basket hilt.


I wore this to a Tartan Day celebration with many historical re-enactment groups a couple of weeks ago. The day was cold, windy, and heavily misting in the morning It was very comfortable and practical to draw the ends of the plaid about me like a cloak. (however I do need to master the art of not stabbing myself with my bodkin when re-arranging my plaid! )

Cheers


Jamie :ootd:
