Yeah, I checked out the stuff online and didn't find the reference to slashing, but I know I saw it somewhere, this summer. Trouble is, I flit all over the internet, so it could have been anywhere. It even could have been an "in-house" rule seen on one of the Ren Faire sites. If I ever come across it again, I'm flagging it! S.

There is nothing listed prohibiting slashes or pinking. Most of the restrictions are for cloth or color (though some are for weaponry or horse tack). Remember also, that historically sumpturary taxes have never been effective.
