I actually like this kit of yours a lot better than your others. I feel like you need a hearty beard though.

Yeah its greek style. They were selling them at the event, and i have to say it was an amazing investment if only to keep the sun off my neck.

depending on what hes making Aluminum sheeting could be viable. Also birch sheets work really well for shields. If he wanted he could do Birch sheets(super thin) glued together with alternating layers of canvas or leather.

Also Ive been having a real rough time of finding a Deep Maroon/Burgundy wool fabric that wasnt boiled wool. Can anyone speak from experience on boiled wool? would I die in the summer time? would it be a good robe fabric?

I have a plan, but im unsure if its a good one. you seem much more versed in this than I. And im conscious im going to look like a goof.

(just not as wide, or in the same colorway, or maybe the same colorway, it looks good.)

The belt, and the chest strap will be a dark brown leather.

except the chest strap will be made in a special fashion, a layer of leather, and ontop of that a tiny "seed" bead layer, and ontop of that another bit of leather to keep it in place. (will post a picture of an example.

Well, for this project money is not an option. ALL the garb i have, i have trimmed in Authentic style Tablet woven trim. Which is where i was having trouble with the colors. as the trim is usualy made up of three colors in and of itself. (pic related. not my trim or the pattern id choose, but it shows how it has multiple colors)

The cowl will be a Tan/Natural Color. with Embroidery at the edge, and directly above that, a layer of braided leather strips.

both the toga and tunic will have period trim, and embroidery. except on the bottom of the toga, you can see that there's a batch of contrasting color. that will still be present, except there will also be trim, with a small bit of chain embroidery above that. Actualy ill just post a pic of my sketch. should be easier.

Hey Tarentula, you seem superb at garb design. If i'm going through Making the robes of destruction from skyrim as my garb, And my best features are my legs, and my shoulders. How do i draw attention to them? I don't want the attention to be at my waist. yet there is a belt, with belt plaques, and a cloth (belt?) under it. Yet I don't want Attention there so much.

How do i do. Also im having a hard time with colors. Right now i wanted to do Maroon/Crimson as the Primary color, With Tan, a brown, and a deep garnet red as the secondary colors, yet im not sure how well it works.

Also Layers are tough. And while i have a base tunic, and the over toga/robe thing. aswell as a cowl, i feel like i need more interest. Perhaps a cloak? any tips here would be nice.

if you wan't i can post a sketch of what im planning the garb looking like.
theres a pic of me in the previous thread if you wan't to see what i look like.

I agree with Tarantula here. Too many people thing that Armor is your Garb, and while it IS part of your kit, it is not garb. Your character would not be wearing Armor 24/7. It simply doesnt happen.

And for extended larps of over a day, you want a few tunics and pants, less you become truly midevil and smell the part.

I think it looks pretty good man. Nice kit. If you don't have padding in the helm, i recommend you getting some. Also look twards a Double belt for your sword(will attach pic). And if you want to look even more legit, get a tunic under the Gambeson out of linen, get some belt plaques on that belt, and get some winingas.

Also you might want to drill a few holes in the face plate of your helm. Helps with Breathing alot and you WILL be able to tell a difference.

Should i buy from ice falcons website then? this is on etsy.

i was considering a Patch aswell, but its too modern to look good on my garb.

Awh Rip. i have been looking for ages. No one who does bronze casting takes Commissions, even with Historical Pieces.

Well, I could use An amulet, and i would love to support Local Larp Thread Artisans(LLTA?) Would you be up to a commission?

and finally a Belt strap end to fir a 1.5" belt, which would match the buckle. Which i cant really pull an example up of.

>>8784903
And a belt buckle similar to this(which is too small) which could fit a 1.5" strap.

>>8784902
Another Belt divider Pic.

>>8784899
Probably a couple Belt plaques.
