They aren't heavily textured and to be honest I don't know how they should look or feel texture wise, but its wool either way I suppose. Time to start crafting! I think I will start with the chausses, then the tunic, then the cowl. I just hope it all looks good together in the end. Dark green chausses, tan tunic, dark brown cowl, and natural color shoes and a brown leather belt. If not I can always make other colors to match the other articles of clothing. I will be sure to give pictures of the progress. I am following a generic chausses design for I don't think there is a specific way they were made. But I'll practice on none expensive fabric first then show you guys the progress on the real thing.

before you cut anything. WASH IT THAT MATERIAL! it's going to shrink. wash it in cold and air dry it or fluff dry no heat in the dryer. if u cut something and make something first, and then wear it, then wash it, it will be to small and the seams will pucker

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't even consider that. Maybe it has been a good thing I haven't been able to get started yet do to school work, would have not washed it and would have used polyester thread instead of linen thread. I sure hope I get this done soon, that way I can get onto, wait for it... Another project!

When those shoes die (and it may take a while) go for completely flat bottom shoes. It will do wonders for your sword form. :)
