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.
