Some guy on Twitter made a point of announcing that thousands upon thousands of men are descended from rapists, and we women "aren't going to like it when [they] stop asking nicely."

Which, you know, surprise surprise brother, but you're also not going to like it when we stop refusing nicely.
Thank you!! I’m excited to wear it around dragon con!
The doublet is made of linen, multiple layers to provide a bit of padding but is still relatively thin for armor to fit properly. For doublet and lacing it came to around 600$ after shipping
Thank you! I designed the garment but it was made by the Art of Steel workshop!
Photographed the buckles I offer in my commissions. The few modern styles of buckle are left over and are the “economy” options. For the past 2 years I’ve only been ordering medieval buckles to maintain the quality I aspire to personally.

QOTD: "That's the sword in the stone pose, because it's gonna take King Arthur to pull me out."

Some updates on my doublet being made by the craftspeople of Art of Steel. I'm excited to see how it turns out! I used remnants of extant printed cloth to make a vector image to make the stamp they're using. I also did the sketches of the concept of doublet.

🤺After three months of intensive testing, Matt Easton has released a review of our foam weapons on his Schola Gladiatoria channel.⚔️

🤺The video is really interesting and we love how he breaks down each LARP weapon we sent him from a HEMA perspective.💪

Did a full face of goth makeup last week! Didn’t go or do anything special, just felt like dressing a bit.

Thank you! It’s also a bit different from my typical late 15th century equipment, but it’s fun kit!
I got to play around with my low fantasy depiction of a Norman soldier around 1200 CE for War of the Barons LARP event. My kit is inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry as well as the Morgan Bible.

Competed at #CarolinaCarnage and didn’t come away with any medals, but I’ll be back next year to claim mine.
