And the pattern. It's just a big rectangle (partially split) and some squares.

My opinion, say no to the eat fuzzy shoulder look. It's not at all what anybody actually did, it is a lot more maintenance than it's worth.

a good hood is both easy to learn to make, it fits a wide variety of looks and social classes. It's also going to provide you with a lot more utility, keeping you much warmer and giving you head to hurt at the same time.

Set Hood could also be worn with your helmet, automatically dressing it up.

Buy some cheap cotton flannel, and you can make a very simple hood that will fit your theme. Pic related

Sure. I am also selling 15thC shirts based off of Della Francesca, and 16th/17thC shirts based on Brugel. I also have a bunch of reenacting stuff for sale.

What are you looking for? I'm trying to sell stuff to get some new 18thC shoes. Dancing and party season is on us!

Emailed.

It's still screwloosecircus at gmail dot com. I totally can. Just tell me how many bars/balls and what kind. Using USPS flatratee, as long as it fits in the box, it won't cost more no matter the weight.

>>10279152
Honk honk.

>>10279209
Yeah, ok sweety.

>>10278469
Yup, a pattern from CWF29C3, in the collection. Same as my linen shirts.

>>10278568
Like I said, it's a shity picture taken by myself. It's also baggy foundation garment and could use a ironing. Proper studio pics coming soon

Hey folks,

So we've started prototype production on generic, hard-wearing cotton 18th/19thC shirts in standard US t-shirt sizes. The idea is a shirt that can be easily dressed up and fit most people, has a easy intro for seagulls to ease their partner into wearing more appreciate clothing without scaring them off.

Obviously, we also mean it for historic reactant and lar puce, so all the seams are reinforced.

I'll post better pictures later, but they're not bad for being done on a timer with my phone.

Any interest?

1: We all know FATAL
2: Never post FATAL
3: Anon's system was actually more reasonable than FATAL.

Well put, I'm looking on desuarchive for the original now.

I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT CRT's!

This post was more retarded than the time that someone suggested a LARP based on Berzerk.

There are literally hundreds of medieval dice games if you Google them, but my go-to is Gluckhaus. Pic related.

Pop history BS. /Some/ life long English archers were /deformed/. It wasn't universal or advantageous.

>>10273593
What concert? Nekrogoblicon? Daggurz? Goblincock?

Get one made for LARP, not costume. Don't skimp on quality, and don't be afraid of cowl styles and a little makeup (easier to breath/drink/talk).

I have had one of these for years before it finally wore out.

Simple sleeved robe of burlap, skeleton mask and gloves, rope belt. Maybe glue on patches of moss for extra mouldering goodness.

There are literally thousands of professional armourers, but depending on where you are dictates access.

Also, you're asking two totally different spectrums of armour: you can build decent enough off the shelf reenacting kit for most periods with a little modification.

Jousting harness will cost you thousands.

What period? What style? Where are you from? Most importantly, what use? LARP/reenacting kit is cheaper than combat kit for example.

>How /fit/ and /out/ do I need to be?

Can you run ten feet without wheezing?

>And how much would everyone here say they’ve spent on this hobby, monetarily speaking?

Between LARP/reenacting/SCA/Bohurt? Thousands. I've been doing it since I was a kid though.

A program about the first witch trial in colonial America: Jane Wright, Jamestown VA, 1626.

Hey peeps. What drama have I missed?

Pic is me from the program/film been working on.

Goddamn, ya'll are awesome. Good shit, both of you.

This is going to sound assinine, but for real, a proper tent is one that you can look at and feel and know that no amount of wind will fuck it. Good tents are expensive, but there is a reason there are only a handful of big name dealers like Panther Primatives and Tentsmiths etc. People who get shit that's marketed to larpers get over priced crap. Same with clothes and armour really.

Dude, if you want to get historical, there were Japanese samurai in the goddamn Vatican as envoys in the 1500's, and brought swords as gifts. Private collectors loved them as novelty in the 1600's. Trade is a thing, and they got around. I like >>10253654's collector angle.

You could also go with something similar like a Swiss sabre or Messer? Pic related.

>>10253960
Spot on.

>>10249583
Haven't had to deal with one in a LARP situation, but I assumed it would be like finding out about one in any other situation: they will have a very unfortunate fall down multiple flights of stairs before the cops are called.

>>10250526
I still can't believe how long it's been.

Seconding Adamant, but if you need to build up bulk, go with 1/8 or 1/4 in thick sheet batting, like for quilts. After you pieced it together to get the measurements you want, make a new slipcover either from scratch out of some sort of stretchy material, or by using a very tight t-shirt. Pick related, my boyfriend likes piecing together like this over using the adjustable dress form to ensure a good fit on clients, but it's cheap enough to just tear off and do again when needed.

doesn't really matter. Unless you're making clothing that exists after the popularizing of industrial sewing, any machine stitch is obvious.

This is said, it doesn't matter for larps unless you personally want it. even then, but a lot of reenactors do, is use it for hidden stitching like inside seams, and then hand finish any exposed stitching.

Honestly, as much as the ultra gate-keeper douchebags like to eat on both companies, the product is solid for what it is. For beginners, larpers, and bulking out practical kit on a budget, it's great stuff.

Both companies have good quality stuff, with Samson being slightly pricier and higher end. My opinion stands less on product, and more on the business themselves.

Townsend as a business has the best goddamn customer service hands down. This makes exchanging clothes for fit super easy. Townsend as a person himself, and his employees are also super nice and genuine and want to include people in the 18thC hobby.

Samson Historical condones and propagates the "Irish slaves" mythology amongst other crap. This kinda shit really sticks in my craw.

Hey /larpthread/, how's everyone?

>>10234998
White or red clothes, and bells or clappers. You want to be noticed. You want people to be aware of you, lest you run afoul of the law.

>>10236272
Depends on where you are, but you can typically find them at big box garden and decor stores. They are very popular for the nouveau country look that people are going for these days. Keep in mind that they are not all created equal, and some are sturdy enough to act as load-bearing wheels, but most are not.

3"x3", figuring roughly 2"x2" when stitched. Thinking 24 colors, meaning 48"x48" face, with a 2" border in either white or buff rounding it to a 50"x50" square.
