Re: Anyone heard from Historic Enterprises?
Hi Matt- I'm not ignoring you, honest, I've just been juggling a bunch of stuff. You asked for photos of the tunic colours while I was in England, so I had to wait till I got home. Once here I had 10 days of frantically trying to catch up at a time when everyone wants their things right away for eve...

I'm glad you're so happy with your arming doublet, and thanks for taking the time to post this review. If you (or anyone else with a BSD arming doublet) would like to be added to the Black Swan Designs Arming Doublet Hall of Fame album, just send a photo. Thanks!

We're taking full advantage of our distinguished competitors and guests this year. In addition to Toby's several talks (watch for the announcement of one in the San Diego area), Joram van Essen will be doing a pollaxe clinic. Day/time TBA.

Dunno, probably should have called this 'Armour porn' or something.

Re: Checked and Striped Fabrics Early Anglo-Saxon
YOu can safely assume that if fabric occurred before and after your target period, it occurred *during* your target period. The same cannot be said for style or fashion (and checks and stripes fall under fashion), but it is a reasonable assumption for woven textiles. Just because a society *can* pro...

Re: Checked and Striped Fabrics Early Anglo-Saxon
I'm guessing from the subject of your post and your comments that you're looking to document the use of stripes and checks in the Anglo-Saxon period, and that's what I'm addressing in this response. Although I'm not on Konstantin's list, I know that Regia Anglorum doesn't accept checks and stripes f...
