beginning 15th c. soft kit
mortuary3:
Thanks for the responses & info. I'm not looking to be spot on for accuracy. Not going to be doing any living history (yet anyway that I know of). Just wanting to put together a reasonable kit for doing presentations & demo with our group (Roanoke Valley Sword Guilde). I'm still leaning towards the Revival shoes / boots due to cost factor for one.
Danke
Bill

Received my 14th c. ankle boots from Revival this week and I'm quite chuffed with them. Very comfortable.....will give them a good try-out at our next training group on Tuesday. This is a good foundation start on my kit....my wife is going to start on my coat after she finishes up a Medieval wedding gown & bride's maid dress.
cheers

kewl, le tm eknow if ya need some help. i can get you to the right person or persons that could make a world of difference. heres a good book to check out on making the garb : "The Medieval Tailor's Assistant, making common garments 1200-1500" by Sarah Thursfield
Sir Edward:
Cool, I hope you like the boots. I'll be giving mine a try at Pennsic next week. So far I've still only tried them on and haven't used them for anything more extensive.
Oh, I remembered that you mentioned the Roanoke Valley Sword Guilde here, and just spotted over on SFI the thread you had about the sword video critiquing. Online video makes for a great way to seek input on such things. I'd love to see people doing that more... but it always means going out on a limb, of course. :)
I haven't tried doing combat or anything like that with the ankle boots, but they move so well, like wearing socks, that they're probably fine for that, as long as the traction is appropriate.
