I wish I could have been at that RenFaire!  I do love watching people's expressions at the hilarious.  I especially love the comments, "you know that's not period right?" as their wearing "normal" short kilts, blue paint, and sweedish greatswords  ::)

Royalist, good sir, you are a lucky one to have a "trail set" of mail!  When reading before, I got side-tracked by Sir "Teddy". I have an aketon with four layers, muslin outer and inner layer, with two layers of natural cotton batting.  It's only about 1/4" thick and doesn't puff out in its quilting.  I was actually dismayed by the lack of "poof" so something like that may be just the ticket for you.

Wow Sir Edward!

Definitely a man of bravery! lol I wish someone said "I know thats not period to Braveheart' as that sounds similar to what your describing!!

Thankyou, what does a trail set mean good sir?

Well guys just to continue in the spirit of the thing, I went to Rufford Abbey (nottinghamshire event) and it was quite simply amazing

I got hose, braies, a thin aketon and a sword and helmet.

Sadly the helmet fits a dream, is sturdy and beautiful but is a bit late for my period. Its blued with a little bit of wear but is fab

anyone interested just ask!!

The Sword is gorgeous and I think its one of Pavel Mocs early ones as its sturdy but light

so the night before Rufford im sat there trying to sew a aketon together by hand as we don't own a sewing machine, I was up all night doing it and said to my wife 'I bet i'll find a aketon dirt cheap tomorrow and it will be thin enough to go under my maille' I was being sarcastic and guess what turned up!!!

I got the thin aketon i'm wearing in the photo for five pounds or $7.76, all because it was thin and a bit mucky, never bothers me as if its mucky ill just bung it in the wash :P

I got the hose and padded cuisses which were made for a man with greater thighs than myself, not difficult as you can see i'm a bit on the skinny side. I cut the bit out of the back of them and sewed them back together by hand to make them slim fit :D

Sir Wolf:
HOLY CRAP THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you find that deal again let me know ok? lol
