Funny Question about Caligae

[Tarbicus]

Thanks for bearing with me on that everyone. Sooo.... should a fair number of us be wearing red socks? :wink:

David, thanks for the guesstimate on time taken. You know, that's not bad at all, and nothing compared to transport time. Why pay for it from the vicus when your Mum could make it if you were willing to wait? Paul, interesting about the Highland regiments and 18th-C British soldiers.

I've no problem with recycling at all, although I'd suggest clothing would more likely be new and presentable, and only the 'best cuts' would be used for them if recycled. In civilian life, wouldn't a citizen turn up at his patron's house looking very presentable? I don't see why it would be any different within the military, especially with their comparative pay.
