The Hegemony look and feel

Examples of kit inspiration can be seen here. http://www.pinterest.com/jamesblackshaw/no-flag-no-country-hegemony/

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.
