Re: Tell Me About Tabards
Depends on context. Most SCA tabards are based on the idea of this sort of fighting surcoat, where the heraldry represents the person fighting: m And since you're looking them in a tournament combat context, that's good & appropriate. In some cases, what you're talking about (soldiers, etc.) -- ...
