*Laugh* that is too true. Until we joined the SCA, my husand didn't really wear anything other than plain black jeans and tshirts, black, grey and dark green sweaters, and occasionally BDUs of various colors (mostly black, olive and olive camo).
I asked him where/when he wanted his persona, and he said he didn't really care, he was in it for the fencing and the friends. I did research, decided on 1530's Landsknecht, and showed him what I wanted him to wear. Uh-uh. No way was he going to wear all that color, and poofyness. And a codpiece?!?!?! That was three years ago. His wardrobe currently contains: yellow wool slashed hosen with black puffs, red linen pants slashed to yellow, a blue linen wams slashed to chocolate brown, a bright blue wool waffenrock with red trim, a black hat with red ostrich feathers, a school bus yellow hat with black rooster feathers, and I'm going to be making a new fencing wams of weld yellow and cochineal pink. He now wants to make peoples eyes bleed. Of course, that's not really the same as being a peacock, but it's interesting. :) -Irmgart On 2/24/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > In a message dated 2/24/2006 4:12:49 A.M.
