Dawn,
I just got back from a wonderful three week vacation to England and
Scotland with four other SCA friends. We saw castles. We saw cathedrals.
We saw Palaces! We saw ordinary people's homes recreated from Anglo-Saxon
times (Weald and Downland Open Air Museum) and Tudor Cottages. One thing
all this did was to emphasize that we don't usually dress anywhere near
warmly enough. So that lovely green light weight wool would be perfect once
you have lined it with something to give it more drape and hand. What you
choose to line it with will impact on how you can wear it in our usually air
conditioned venues (air conditioned as in warmed or cooled to what we think
of as comfortable).
Stokesay Castle ... You haven't been cold until you have stood in the
great
hall listening to the little recorded voice for 10 minutes :-) just joking,
but...)

Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.
