I have worked with Colonial Reenacting groups here in Massachusetts. Check with the group first. I kit in Elizabethan attire for activities here. The fabrics and design are critical to the portrayal. Also, I have to lose the eyeglasses during the performances as the form we use today were not available then. While in character, I depend on just barely seeing those around me to keep me marching in the right direction. My whole kit is wool, the performances are generally in July and August. Although it is not kilted, No PV would be tolerated here.

just my 2d.
