I have my sagum on under my paenular cloak. Not too far off.

Nice impression! May I ask you what's the period you are recreating? I am also interested about the udones and the calcei you are using, as well as the torque, where did you get them and what are their models?
I'm doing 430's through 450's. The socks are just SOTW socks, nothing special. I need new ones though. The Boots are a custom design by Matt Amt, which Rusty then made for me (and offers on the newer SOTW website), based off of the early 5th century Vergilius manuscripts.
The torque is made by Al-Hamdd, which is also on the newer SOTW website, but I don't know if any of the Al-hamdd pricing is right now until I talk to Suhel so avoid buying it until I can tell you (Suhel recently doubled or tripled his prices):

Yeah I've got a baldric in the works for the sword, it's just not finished yet. Shield isn't either, needs leather edging and red paint still.
Evan, any ideas for the emblem for your shield? My shield somehow resembles Defensores or Honoriani Atecotti Iuniores. Notitia Dignitatum, being a copy of the original etc. gives room for some interpretation. Then again I must confess something. When I ordered my shield, I asked for a "Fectio-like" Marcomanni Iuniores shield with a blue backside. So I wanted originally a red shield with a red back side but the maker interpreted I wanted a blue background for the emblem! At first I was a bit disappointed but the colours started to grow on me eventually and now I wouldn`t want to change them. Btw, still satisfied with the Deepeeka spatha?
As for shield pattern, I'm going with one based off the Felices Valentinianenses in the Notitia Dignitatum. Just need to draw out the pattern, paint the general shape, and then go over it with the black paint pen for the details.
