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

Sir Wolf, I did the procedure you suggested for the chausses (well, for the sake of total transparency, my wife did it :) ) and it worked like a charm. Took about 5 total minutes, and they fit much better now. Thank you for the suggestion!
Sir Wolf:
awesome. thats how i do it. use the generic patterns and then tailor it to fit. glad to be of service!
oh ya don't forget your hats! you must must wear a hat in medieval attire. it's forbidden heheh not to
Sir Ulrich:
I ordered the anglo saxon tunic with a hood, should fit in for my 13th century impression. I dont think i'm tall enough for the gown type tunic so I got the anglo saxon one instead, in copper and black and I got the hood in copper. Should work for me for this soft kit.
Sir James A:
That looks great to me!
Sir Ulrich:
My stuff arrived, not sure if it fits well enough color wise but I went with copper because it matched the hood I got. Wool is itchy though, prefer linen but wearing the linen undershirt sorta solves the itchy problem.
