Tights, a loose robe or dress-belted, and a biggins or stocking cap with the
end wound around your head would work well.  Maybe a cloak on top of that.

Subject: [h-cost] medieval france question

Hi,
I'm still here.  I'm also on facebook, but a bit disenchanted with it so
mostly read other people's drama.

I'm taking a new kind of history class this quarter - it's called reacting
history. The professor picks a few related scenerios, assigns characters,
and we interact as if we are those people.  Costumes get you extra points. 
for the first one I pulled something out of the closet, but for this one I'm
not so sure what is correct.  Granted I could show up in repurposed goodwill
clothes and it'd be OK, but I'd like to do better. The time and place is
1302 France - and the kicker is that I'm roleplaying an older man.  I don't
have time to do the normal indepth research I do before making something ( I
need tomorrow, not in a month), and I'm not overly familar with male
clothing.  Any suggestions on where to start?. Would the greenlander outfits
be appropriate?

thanks,
Susan Courney
