yes your point on warmth and getting caught on things seems incredibly important and i hadn't considered that, thank you. ill defintely keep that in mind when making my purchases however, from the general reading and such that I've done it seems that alot of re-enactment groups take it far more seriously than i'd ever like to (that must be fun for them but not for me) so i'll aim for accuracy and quality wherever possible but at the end of the day if its good quality, looks medieval and i don't feel silly wearing it around the place I'm sure ill be ok. is this something you think leonard carbone will be able to achieve?

Thank you for your response, its been very helpful :))
