Takeda,


Thats why I said there are cheaper and better sources. Also the Romans were weaving cloaks to shape with no sewing other than closing up the hood. So this material would be fantastic for that purpose. Then again your still stuck with cut edges.

Jehan I think it would make a killer cloak. However I would never pay that much per yard... there are cheaper sources.

Tim why not sew a hood? I know its an anachronism for most pre 1300 impressions, but its better than sunglasses. I have a good illustration of a Roman era hood being worn, I believe its Germanic in origin.

Hebridian Axe

I bought one of the axes in Albions Moat sale simply because of the excellent deal they were offering. Can someone give me some info on this axe design? I read that it is based on a piece thats dated to the 16th century, but it just seems to have a earlier period feel to it.
