Went to the Tx Ren Fest yesterday.....

[calanneh]

I got my shirt at the TX Ren Fest in 2006. Paid like $15 bucks for it on the markdown rack. It is a nice roomy 3X.

The hat on it's own looks dorky, but with the whole emsemble, I like the effect. If I ever do another one, I will make it wider and shorter so it does not sit so high on my head.

I have a short sword (15" long) but I havent had time to make a proper sheath for it, so I did not wear it. I bought a medium length sword (28") at the fest.

I will be making sheaths for them both over the next year. I will probably put the short sword on my hip and the other across my back.

My goal is to get a true claymore sword and carry that across my back.

Make sure you upload pix of your outfit as you make your pieces!!

Nice!

I'm a 4x myself, so I have to go custom, all the off-the-rack stuff stops at 3X around here.

I usually wear a kilt to the Ren Fest, but being a guy I had to buy my sword before I had any garb:

When I get a Viking setup going I'd like to get this scramasax and this sword as the look I'm going for is late period viking look after they started interbreeding with the Celts. Orkney Islands area.
