“…</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">went over to the daycamp for about 2
hours. Took almost all my Western European garb, from Viking through
Elizabethan; arrived dressed in sideless surcoat, showed the rest of the
things. Passed around the pieces of the Elizabethan, which of course made them
want me to put it on. So I used the sideless surcoat outfit as the shift,
omitted the corset (for lack of time), and popped everything else on...
Also had a drop spindle and my lace pillow with me.<br>

</b>A few suggestions for this: <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Buckles
are probably required as well. - A side of leather scraps from "the real
leather people" at Pennsic makes for good strap leather. The barony
may wish to consider picking one of these up. If I'm less of an airhead
than I expect to be at Pennsic (it's been a rather busy few weeks), I may pick
up one specifically to donate. Keep the budget for the copper rivets, but
consider getting a collective order through Jay-Cee rivets. I need to
replenish my stock, as I suspect do others. S&H is where a chunk of
the cost goes, but that amortizes nicely if someone simply can't manage to
drive out there. Perhaps not for discussing in this thread, but perhaps an
"armor first aid kit" for practice. Many people carry their
own, but occasionally forget <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>things. Make this one a "you use
it, you owe the barony a few bucks". :-)</p>
