I Want to be an 11th century Norman Knight

Mike W.:
It seems as though hose would be more appropriate. Even the Osprey book (which I find to be generally trustworthy) mentioned hose, though they also mentioned trousers. I think the hose will be more versatile in the long run.

Sir Wolf:
trousers are in the iffy world. there are really only 1 pair of trousers found and they are from the thorjborg finds. and they are way outta date for normans.... but accepted ok for saxons for soem reason lol

Sir William:
So I guess it boils down to- which would you prefer?  Trousers or hosen?  Personally, I prefer trousers, but I think that's mostly due to modern convenience...hosen and pointing to braies is a pain and I always feel somewhat under protected.

Sir Wolf:
but u need 2 belts for trousers. one for the trousers and one over the tunic.


oh, and don't forget the period norman haircut. you gotta do it lol

Sir William:
LOL

I do a close approximation of the Norman style bowl cut.
