If anyone is like me, I've been shying away from a T tunic/dress. I just didn't want to waste time & money on something I didn't think I would wear again once...
... Please forgive me, I meant no offence. I've been a Rennie for 10 yrs, and know plenty of people who strive for authenticity. What I was trying to convey is...
A few questions on the concept of combat in the SCA. While garb searching I have come across much in the way of arms and armour. I also did some light reading...
T-tunics are good for many different reasons. It's always good to have one around when you go to an event so you can change into it when you're helping with...
Hmmm... I guess I will just start at the beginning of you email and answer in order asked. 1) Do you need armor to practice sword play? Yes and no. You can...

Help! I will be attending my first SCA event locally and I do not want to make a complete flub of it. I have only a "wench" outfit that I purchased at a Ren...
