I heard a comment about the color black in clothing: " People wear
black because it reflects the mood of the times."
Is that why we can free ourselves to wear color when we step into our

Until we joined the SCA, my husand didn't really wear anything other than
plain black jeans and tshirts, black, grey and dark green sweaters, and
occasionally BDUs of various colors (mostly black, olive and olive camo).
I asked him where/when he wanted his persona, and h

It's tolerated but SCA time frame ends Dec.31 1600, so I'm sure you can

I have this exact problem with my hubby too. Here is what I have
proposed to him and he seems close to accepting it. He has even
considered tights as long as his coat comes over his hips.

So, my husband has sorta kinda hesitantly mentioned that, seeing as there are
occasionally cannons present at SCA events, he might be interested in attending
at some point. I now have the job of finding clothing that he can stand to
