Yep! Just got here tonight.
SirNathanQ:
Looking good Sir Ed! Get some armour and you'll look like a true Ritterbrudern!
Sir Ulrich:
I'd like to go to this, would be a big thing for me actually though driving would be an issue as I cant drive myself yet. I'd probably go as a Templar knight as I already have a GDFB templar linen surcoat, just needs resizing though so it can fit me properly.

Well, if I do manage to go, I'm well on my way toward that whole Teutonic thing. :)

how is the sizing? is the linen course or smooth? do they give the linen weight? does the surcoat gap around the arm holes or is it a good fit?
Sir Edward:
I'll double-check tonight. In terms of the size, the surcoat is a little big by itself, but isn't too far off from the ones I've made. It hangs pretty long too, down to almost my ankles. But then again, taking it in would be a lot easier than trying to expand it! :) The length actually won't be an issue for me. Once it's on over armor, I tend to pull some of it up over the belt anyway.
The surcoat is linen, lined with linen. I don't know what weight fabric it is, but it's a fairly smooth medium weight I think. In the photo it looks very white, but it's not as white as the linen shirt I wore for the shot (which you can only really see at the wrist). It's a mildly natural white, and the cloak is even more so.
The cloak is wool, with a linen lining, and is surprisingly well made for the cost ($70). Kat wrapped herself in it last night, and promptly fell asleep sitting up. Hah!
The belt I'm wearing in the photo is a new one I ordered with my shoes from Viking Leathercrafts. I wanted to have at least one thin belt.
