I'm sort of jealous of you guys that can make your own stuff.  I do not have the talent, tools or wherewithal to do so.

Looks like we all will have to teach Sir William the nuts and bolts of DIY.   ;)

Hehe I’m not making anything Sir William, I am only looking to stock up on the raw materials my seamstress will need to make the items I want. She is extremely talented, very reasonably priced with a quick turn around and the best part, she is a mere 5 miles from my house.  :)

I think the next project I’ll have her do is a knock off lightweight version of the Revival Clothing linen gambeson to wear under my armor. The one I train with is SO freaking comfortable it would make wearing armor so much more tolerable.  ;)

Well, I know you could...you made those pimped out puffy pantaloons to pad your legs, I thought it was an excellent job.  Been looking all over for such a pair and I thought I'd found it but now can't find what site I'd found it on.  lol

Shipping is pricy so get lots of fabric at once.

The quality is pretty nice as well. I made my gambeseon of 9 yards of stuff I got from them.

Hey thanks Ivan! I have been trying all day to get a hold of my seamstress to get an idea of how much fabric I needed to get and now I know! :)

That's probably a good idea since I'll probably have her make another braes and tunic for me as well. :)

I just got my 13th C undergarment kit from Historic Enterprises...wasn't sure what to expect but overall, nice fit and feel.  Might run it through a few washes to soften it up a bit but other than that, it is nice stuff.  Gonna take some getting used to, those linen chausses...and I know its not period but I'm wearing modern underwear underneath the braies...not altogether comfy havin the boys swing wide with all that room in there!

Uh, actually I highly recommend this! Especially after this past Sunday when I happen to shrink my braies a little too much and ripped my crotch out! If Sir Edward didn’t happen to have some safety pins on hand I would’ve been kicked out of the ‘family style’ restaurant we had dinner at after the faire! Of course it wasn’t very comfortable sitting there with a ‘Frankenstein’ scrotum either. ;)

This weekend I’ll be wearing shorts under my braies.  :-[

‘Frankenstein’ scrotum

I'm adding this to the list of words I hope to only hear once in my lifetime. :)
