Alan, thanks on the doublet. I can't believe I forgot to mention about it. Interesting situation, We have an RPG, Fantasy, and Sci Fi convention here in Springfield every year called Visioncon. There is a dealers room where all sorts of people have all types of wears for sale. There is a lady who sells garments that she makes and she's had a booth there for the past three years. I decided that I wanted to see if she'd make me a doublet and so I asked her and she said she probably had just the thing. Shur enough she had this lovely item and it fit me perfectly. Sold!

Anyway, I'm working on hose and shoes at the moment. Believe it or not, I actually go around town in my belted plaid every so often. The ladies love it!

That's how I started, first it was a costume, then it was comfortable, and I started wearing it around town... and now I'm hooked.
