Oddly, I actually kind of want to do a Landsknecht kit one day; it's the one concession to my "I don't like fancy clothes" rule. It's just so silly and foppish that it's not silly anymore. Or...something like that.

Hey, I got the patterns, but when it comes to sewing, I'm more skilled at bitching than stitching  :P

Same here...unless the needle is about a yard long and the material is someone else's flesh.  ;)

I can't sew a straight line with a ruler and a sewing machine, but just on the name alone (stitch 'n bitch), I'd probably go for hosting a workshop day on that for my local Order brethren if you guys want to.

I'm somewhat handy with a needle and thread, but I'm not local enough. :(

Sewing is a god damn nightmare. I always seem to a lot of it. Final product looks good, walk outside everything I sewed falls apart.

I have some kit that would work for Landsknecht in the early to mid 16th Century. Don't have any of the cool clothes, though.  I've thought of doing something in this area, but not Landsknecht necessarily. That could change, though. I've been talked into doing other periods and personaes a fair bit of late  ;D

Y'know, as much as I love armor from the 15th century, I don't think I could do the everyday clothing. Poofy doublet shoulders and codpieces aren't really my thing. I'll stick with big, loose tunics, thankyouverymuch. ;)

I Must admit I`m quite partial to a bit of posh kit myself  ;)

Bah, when have I wondered if a pic shared by a knight is that knight?

I seem to recall you not realizing it was actually Sir James in his armor, despite him posting multiple pics of himself.  ;)

Or was that Aiden?
