Coolus Feathers - Ioannes - 08-18-2015
Salvete, RAT! I found a coolus I'm thinking of getting (I'm fond of republican legionary gear), and it has 2 tubes on the sides for feathers, and I'm wondering where I would be able to find the feathers for it. I tried the great and almighty Google, but didn't find anything. Do I just pluck them off a bird or something? Where can I find 2 large feathers for it?
The attached picture is a screencap of the website's pic of the helmet. I'm looking for the side feathers.

SOTW.com may have something. Also charge your cell phone. You're low on battery.

You can find all kinds, colors and sizes of feathers on ebay from China.

Where are you based, Ioannes? There's a reenactor here in the UK who sells dyed long tail feathers for republican helmets.

I'm across the pond in the U.S.

I have found Etsy to be a good place to buy feathers.
