As James said, the event standards are basic. These are not the same standards as Grey’s, as a group, has. The purpose of this is to let first timers kit up more easily to join us. Lesser equipped folks will be members of the shire levy, called up by the commission. People will be archers or men a...

For a little context - this is a 15th century living history event. The event is private, meaning that we will not be interpreting to the public. This is a fantastic first event for people interested in reenacting. Clothing standards are not all that stringent. Come play with us!

I would start with a layer or two of a plain kirtle or dress. It can have a waist seam or no waist seam. At least one of the layers should have long sleeves. Wear it over a body skimming linen smock, that can be made with the other pattern, just a tad looser, or using rectangular construction. If yo...

2) I think Elspeth Veale's book goes into some detail about the method, but I don't recall. Indeed, it does. To sum up, the fur itself was attached to an interlining of, if I'm remembering correctly, canvas, and then the interlining was attached to the garment. The fur and the interlining would be ...
