Soft Kit for DoK

(1/6) > >>

Ian:
Got some last minute stuff in from HE.  Here's a quick shot of one iteration of the soft kit.  Everything you see here is wool, and surprisingly comfortable.  I'm looking for any obvious glaring errors that I need to fix prior to DoK if anyone has anything.  The one thing that irks me that I can't help is that the fit of the chausses are a little loose.  I've got to get one size too big because my feet won't fit in the next size down, even though they would be more fitted to the leg.

Also, does anyone have a trick to making a livery collar not fall out of place any time you lean in any direction?  :D

For clarity's sake:  Mid to Late 14th Century England.

Lord Dane:
Safety pins to the shirt from underneath so not noticed should do it. Nice look, Ian. Very sharp & historical. I don't know why people like the rondel daggers. Guess it's just preference. 

Sir Ulrich:
Nice, maybe I should pick up a tunic by them. What one did you pick out? Cause I dont want one thats too long as I am not exactly tall.

Sir Edward:

Looking good! I agree, some hidden safety pins might help with keeping things in place. I think the kit is really looking good, so I'm not sure what you might want to add to it.

Man, I need to finish mine. :)

I took a photo with what I had when some of it arrived. I've since switched the tunic for the next size up for a better fit, and added a wool lyrapipe hood with dags as an alternate choice to the linen hood shown:

Sir Wolf:
put the chausis on inside out, mark where they are too large with a piece of chalk, pin the new line and sew it. turn them right side out and try them. then turn them wrong side out again and cut off the excess. make sure you dont make them too tight in the ankles and knees.

ya just use hidden safety pins. only u will know. or mark where you want it to sit and put a few cheater stitches with the same color thread as the mantle. and sew it in place
