Realistic cold weather gear

[Crispvs]

Ahem - I suppose I should come clean and admit to being someone who owns a check tunic copied from one of the ones from Thorsberg and which I do sometimes wear under a Roman one. I should also say though that this is only one of three tunics I keep for use as an extra layer in cold weather and both of the others are normal Roman style tunics. The overall insulation always seems about the same, for what it's worth. As Graham has said, I would always add a cloak to that (unless I was kitted out for fighting, where a cloak would be a hindrance). I would normally use socks and leg bindings in cold weather as well.

In case you don't have any of Graham's books to hand, here is a piece I wrote a year or two back on cold weather kit.:
