Playing Dress-up

[Poll #1333362]

---Late edit---
I'm a little disturbed by the fact that garething and sagaciouslu want to see Elias in the nude. Probably not as disturbed as stephtopia and conejita_diabla though.

it's period what's the problem? Another reason I haven't re-joined the SCA. People are forgetting it's a "club". Though i would think the shoes would be the most in contention (is that spelled right?)At least he's not rolling in manure to authenticate his garb.

The whole exchange was done in fun. This wasn't a case of period-nazi's run amok.

Yeah, you're missing the sixth and seventh options:
6) The exact same stuff and tell them to get the stick out of their ass
or
7) Quit the club for reasons of excessive pomposity.

[jamesq]

We'll skip 6 & 7 because that's overreacting to a situation that wasn't really there.

8) wear the 10th century peasant version of Sunday-go-to-town clothing.

I picture something like Jed Clampett's fancy suit with the flower tie and his hair parted down the middle and slicked down with Pomade.

Elias pulls of paperbag peasant extremely well. I like it. No changing kthxbi.

OF course that wool thing is very warm, so while he may be banned from wearing, nothing is stopping me. ;P

Though that might just be mean.

[jamesq]

Technically, wasn't he only banned from wearing it in court. I mean, do TM have an issue with him just wearing it at some random camping event? ya_inga are you still reading this thread? Can you clarify?

garb befitting his station

I think he should make some Kick Arse Peasant garb befitting his station. I joked with Tuck after and he said something to the fact that its not that he cant be a peasant just to wear something befitting his new station

Knowing Ellias he will be the most period peasant befitting his station that everyone will want to be a peasant
