I have been reading my way through several threads and caught mention of the SCA. I did not want to hijack a thread so I ask this here: would a "great kilt" be more "period" than one of the "modern" quilts? Period would be considered pre-15th century or according to persona (as far back as the fall of the Roman Empire). I have the feeling that a "great kilt" would indeed be the way to go. The problem with it being, I live in the south and easily overheat. Of course, I think that would mean I need to find a fabric store and and buy 8 yards of double wide fabric. Any ideas or input?
