sorry, don't want it to get lost in another post.  Give me a date and area of what you want to go with and i'll hook you up in what your soft kit should look like

Sir Ulrich:
Mid 13th century probably. Mainly England or Normandy France, maybe even the crusader states.

Sir Wolf:
lets see.

a hat or a hood
wool 4 gored tunic to below the knee
white under tunic
long brais
wool chausis
veggie tanned shoes in 13thc fashion

Sir William:
Hey, thanks for the links, Sir Wolf- very helpful.  Sir Ulrich, good luck...I almost wish I had these resources when I got started but part of the fun was in assembling and switching out pieces as I saw fit.

Sir Ulrich:
Thanks this gives me an idea of the look I want. Thankfully I got the perfect shoes for that kind of kit which is probably the most expensive part (GDFB 13th century soldier's shoes), the pants I currently have aren't accurate at all but I only got them for 20 bucks so that ain't that big a deal. I personally like the crusader outfit the most with the hooded tunic and cloak and think thats what I may go for.
I am still wondering, wouldn't wool get hot in the summer? If so maybe I should get the linen, but that don't come in any color but purple and I don't exactly like purple
