Hospitaller Soft Kit

(1/2) > >>

Mike W.:
According to the Hospitaller Statue of 1206, the knights were forbidden from wearing colored clothes. Everything they owned (with the exception of the black robes, surcoat, and mantle) had to be white. I had attempted to sew a soft kit, but sadly my results were quite sub-par. Historical Enterprises does not sell tunics or hose in white, nor does Revival Clothing. Anyone know of a place where I can get a white linen tunic and white wool hose without having to fork over the cash for custom made items?

Sir Wolf:
i made my own.

I have heard great things about Linen Garb. Maybe ask and see if they can make you something?

Sir Wolf:
http://www.merchantadventurers.com/ ask my friend. give her specifics on how period you want stuff. she can make it for ya too

Sir James A:
I'd also check with Revival and/or Historic and ask if they are willing to do it in white as a one-off. They already have the pattern, so it's worth a try.
