Overall aesthetic

  • Practical. If you don’t have an immediate use for it you probably aren’t wearing it.
  • Colours should be muted, earthy tones, browns, olive greens, rust, grubby greys
  • Slightly shabby, make do and mend
  • Fabrics should ideally be rough, ideally wools, linens and the like
  • Very much along the lines of standard mediaeval peasant.


Base kit:

  • Tunics
  • Loose trousers, drawstring are great for this
  • Jerkins, open jacket/waistcoat/doublet things rather than robes.
  • Rough cotton neck scarves to keep out the chill worn round the neck (dull coloured woollen scarves also great)
  • Long plain skirts
  • Long plain dresses
  • Peasant blouses in muted colours
  • Sensible shoes/boots


Armour:

  • Plainish leathers, scrappy or battered is particularly good
  • Chainmail.
  • Arming jacks and other quilted fabric armour


Weapons:

  • Axes
  • Polearms
  • Anything that looks like it belongs to an angry peasant mob
  • Simple-looking shields.
