Having purchased those items of my impression that I can't make myself (Maille, Sword & Helm is ordered) I have begun the process of crafting the other bits.
Inspired by some of the footwear appearing on the RAT lately here is my first attempt at Mainz Calcai.
Turnshoe construction from 2.5mm veg tan with a laminated sole - my pattern works!!! :-)
The next pair will have hobnailed soles, also laminated, and a few tweaks.
My personal preference is for these over caligae and I feel they will fit nicely into my 1Cent. impression based on service in Germanica/Britannia.
Sorry this was originally posted in the wrong area as I am relatively new to this forum business :whistle:
