I'd be bummed because I really dig the silk pajamma / bathrobe-esque clothing of the later Roman empire. I'd find another period that had cool gaudy garb and do that.

Maybe I'd be a fop!

In An Tir, it is written right into our conventions of combat. "Do not intentionally strike at the arms of an opponent (arm hunting). The arm is a legal target and it may be struck during the normal course of combat. It is especially vulnerable when it is posted beside your head and is in the way o...

One of the things I've noticed locally when marshalling is an increase in arm shots being ignored completely. I'm talking very clearly good shots that hit when the arm is in a quite static position.

Yes, please ask em. As for them not being in the SCA - just tell them that "they are the ideal of what the society can be with a bit of effort".

Written release: That’s for an official SCA site (kingdom, barony, etc).
This is not:

Our Barony has 2 websites http://barony-of-stonemarche.org (official) and http://stonemarche.com (unofficial) - both interlinked. That way we CAN list things that are prohibited on one on the other.

From your site: "The terms costume and garb are often interchangeable. However, since we are trying to portray people of the past, its more likely that the term "garb" or "Period Clothing" will be used for the more accurate and authentic the garments.
