Looking to make a new outfit that doesnt make me regret it after 6 hours lol.
Basically im looking for just clothes

Specificly im looking for a "man skirt", from waist to feet, covering feet or not. Saw a man at the fair and was talking to him, i really liked his look with the skirt, couldnt find the vendor he was pointing me to though for it. Anyone know where i could find some?

[Sir Wolf]

wha? i know of no such beast in period.  persians and men of the middle east worn long tunics that went to their feet, but no skirts. esp a knight of europe.

[Sir William]

Sounds like he might've been wearing a warkilt or skirt?  Leg, go for a long tunic or surcoat and just wear a shorter shirt over it to get that look.

[Sir Edward]

There are a variety of good looking long-tunics that hang toward the ankles.

Check out The Hooded Hare: http://thehoodedhare.com/tunics.htm

And Revival Clothing:  http://www.revivalclothing.com/newcolors12th-13thcenturymenssilksupertunic.aspx

Those are some examples.

I finally got around to ordering a more period ‘soft kit’. These should be shipped pretty soon as the braies were backordered 2-3 weeks. I still have to dye them black. 
Braies and Chauses:



Gaston Phebus Tunic in Linen:

[Sir Edward]

Nice! Did you get a liripipe hood to go with it, or just the tunic?

I'm thinking of ordering two pairs of chausses (linen) in two colors, and braies. The other thing I want is the long 12th/13th under-tunic, but for whatever reason they only seem to have large in stock. I have three of the tunics from Hooded Hare, but don't have the undertunic to go with them.

[Sir James A]

Sir Brian, thou hast read my mind/order form. I ordered the same items two weeks ago.

Nope, no hat for me.

Cool! Just so long as you stay away from the green tunic and gold chauses combination then we'll be fine!

Go with the 'Brotherly' look & become a monk?

Hmm im not sure, he literally said it was a skirt haha. Ill try and find a teutonic tunic or surcoat to match the armor

Thats one option haha.
Looked into tunic and surcoats, looks as if its just a different style of tabbard. Im looking for an un-armored suit, clothing only

[Sir Matthew]

Sounds like a great kilt to me. I have one, more trouble than they are worth and not period until after the 16th century according to an article in Renaissance magazine a couple months back.

[Sir William]

Sir Brian, are those chausses padded?  Where'd you order them from?  I need to work on getting my under clothing to period spec.

[Sir Brian]

Sir William I ordered those chausses from revival clothing and they are not padded. I made my padded under armor chausses about four years ago. They are fairly easy to make. You just need some quilted fabric and a soft cotton fabric for the inner liner. I added some leather tabs and leather padded knee chaff guards. It all took about four hours start to finish.

Love the padded look!
