Sir Ulrich's kit
Sir William:
If you get your surcoat from GDFB, be sure to specify you want the heavy linen one, not the wool one...their wool garments are very heavy, very well made too, but very heavy. I'd ordered the Templar ensemble, surcoat and cloak and just those two pieces were over 10lbs by themselves. And HOT...I ended up sending them back and opting for a couple shirts and pants and other odd bits instead.
Went with the MRL Templar getup...you can see it here- very comfortable to wear.
Sir Ulrich:
Yeah, I got my hands on a GDFB linen surcoat, it's a bit oversized on me but I can get it tailored I think. I was thinking of getting the cloak but considering it's wool it would probably be too hot. All I wanna know is where I could get a lighter cloak that matches the GDFB wool one.
Sir William:
Are you doing a Templar serjeant, or Hospitalier? I ask because w/the Templars, you didn't have to have the cross on the cloak/cape, just on the tunic/surcoat so you could go with an all-black cape, or have one made. There are a number of e-tailers on eBay that do some really nice stuff...of course, if you have a little more money to play with, there are more upscale tailors you could work with. On eBay, there is a vendor called House Morningstar- this woman makes all of the surcoats herself, she made the one I'm wearing in my avatar. She could do a matching cloak for you I'd think.
Sir Ulrich:
I am trying to portray a Templar mainly. I think I'm gonna save up for one of those cloaks as they're probably lighter than the GDFB stuff (which I saw at NY Renaissance Faire), maybe I'll even get the surcoat if I can't resize my GDFB one, or just buy a Templar sergeant surcoat and decide to do a knight later.
Thats basically the kind of outfit I want. The way it looks somewhat sinister and dark appeals to me for some reason.
SirNathanQ:
Yeah, that's a classic. I like it.
That was going to be my second choice before I got addicted to the 15th century.
