"Doin the happy dance"
Got my order in the mail. Now I have 2 full outfits from Historic Enterprises,
one in wool and one in linen.
The wool almost feels magical in its softness, I like the way the chausses form to the leg, it feels almost like wearing a modern sock all up the leg.
The wool outfit consists of 13th cent brais,linen st louis shirt, green chausses, garters, a bocksten tunic made from what Gwen desribes as "cocoa brown warp and black weft", a green nockert hood, large belt, and felt hat(very nifty item for just 8 bucks).
The linen outfit is basically the same, with dark grey chausses and a light green bocksten tunic. I also have a linen coathardie which I am going to save for formal occasions( or double with the wool tunic when it gets real cold).
What is really nice is that all my green cloths are varying shades of green.
Service was great, Francena worked with me over the phone to pick out what would go well together.
I'll try to take some digital pictures this weekend, but have nowhere to host them for posting, suggestions?
