I grew up in the SCA, and my father was Baron for 16 years. MY mother and father met in the SCA in college, and have been together since. you gain lots of life skills growing up in the SCA, such as respect, and a great sense of honor. thanks for making this great piece! :D
I was astonished to find such beautiful clothing appropriate for SCA on sale in a shop in Biot, France. Everything appeared to be unique and very finely made. That's on the Côte d'Azur and I have a few short clips up in general of Biot, which is one of the famous ancient "perched villages" on the French Riviera. Greetings from Paris via the USA.
I found out about SCA in the Midwest of the USA in the early '70s. I didn't join but told a friend and she's still in, last I heard. Greetings from France.
There are, of course, many patterns for medieval clothing, some free online. And pre-made clothing available online is plentiful. So getting garbed is much easier for us now than it was back in the 20th century!
But so many researchers have looked at so many historical garments in the last few decades that we do have some actual patterns of actual garments. And the more seem to be in creation all the time.
No. I was in school down on South Africa. I used to be in the SCA in Arizona, but by the time I was in Cape Town, it had been years since I played. I only worked with the Shire there for a couple days during the project.
@Margobears The "patterns" for period clothing do NOT exist. What is seen and used are reproductions of how the clothing was put together. The making of patterns for clothing was created much later in years. I have a few good friends...and Jerry knows of one couple I'm talking about...who make such a reproduction. I also happen to have one of their pieces of garb that is so well made and fits so wonderfully.
Originaly I am from the Shire of Ard Ruadh, Kingdom of Artemesia. But now I claim the Barony of Starkhafn, Kingdom of Caid. That is when I can get down there and play. (Job malfuction you know) LOL.
Nice work, but saying that patterns for period clothing don't exist is simply untrue. Mantua Maker, Lynn McMasters, Reconstructing History, Alter Years, and my own Historic Costume Patterns all produce patterns for clothing for the SCA period.

Very nice piece. Kudos to the Shire of Adamestor for putting one of the best overview videos I've ever seen of the Society.

Huzzah! As a born and raised SCAdian, I find this piece well done!
I came here by accident...and I'm soooo happy that I did. This is great! I want to learn more about the SCA now. :)
Very Well done. there are now 19 kingdoms but we all are Brothers and Sisters in a Great Cause. HUZZAH HUZZAH HUZZAH

Great student project!
Very good! Thank you!
So well done! You are from South Africa? I know Guntram, therefore I am asking.
I am surprised to see the noble actually kissing the visitors hand!

Is "Being a Beautiful Woman Who Kisses Swordsmen" the most popular course?
I bet it's the most popular course.

Cool!
Thank you for your answer! Beside that: good video!

Okay, two months later-- how has your journey gone?
Hey ckpirate, Not everyone can be as good as you.
Originaly I am from the Shire of Ard Ruadh, Kingdom of Artemesia. But now I claim the Barony of Starkhafn, Kingdom of Caid. That is when I can get down there and play. (Job malfuction you know) LOL.
Yeah, everyone totally makes their own costumes in the SCA. 0_0
