Sure, you can do that. It wouldn't have been done frequently, but there might be times when you don't want to fully harness up, but still want your colors.

But be careful, if they see you without mail. They will get their revenge.
I think it would be good for medieval political occasions
Aiden of Oreland:
I just bought some wool fabrics! They aren't heavily textured and to be honest I don't know how they should look or feel texture wise, but its wool either way I suppose. Time to start crafting! I think I will start with the chausses, then the tunic, then the cowl. I just hope it all looks good together in the end. Dark green chausses, tan tunic, dark brown cowl, and natural color shoes and a brown leather belt. If not I can always make other colors to match the other articles of clothing. I will be sure to give pictures of the progress. I am following a generic chausses design for I don't think there is a specific way they were made. But I'll practice on none expensive fabric first then show you guys the progress on the real thing.
Aiden of Oreland:
My very first medieval shoes came in! That was fast! They said it may take 2 weeks because of the vibram soles but I guess they already had a pair with them on it in my size! Very comfortable, nice looking and well fitted. Sadly I don't know any medieval knots, so if anyone knows any that they wouldn't mind sharing that would be great :) I now can truly tread on my medieval path in these new shoes!
Sir James A:
Excellent!
