Quote:Looks good Chuck! Now, about the rest of your gear.. gotta helmet yet?
no no helmet yet. was gonna try to make a simple ridge helm due to lack of good heavy infantry helmets but i havent started yet.
i have a thick red wool coptic tunic done with no trim, but its too thick and scratchy. so i am waiting for my white linen to get here and make another (got some red linen for the trim)
what about trousers? do you think the thorsberg style are ok? i have a brown wool pair of those made.
guess i need to start on my shoes too hehehe (

Yes, Thorsberg or Damendorf style trousers is OK. In fact is the only information we have and, furthermore, it fits the trousers depicted at the Silistra (Bulgaria) grave 8)
