Thanks for all the lovely comments so far all! This is a bit different to the previous video, but I want to try and provide this kind of stuff from time to time as a bit of fun! Any suggestions do let me know!
I think as a suggestion maybe a primer video on what actually is larp would be really helpful. I think people, like myself, have an idea on what it is that might be a bit ignorant. So when you explain on the first package you open that the buckles aren’t real leather and “that would be fine for cosplay.” I was confused. Is this not medieval cosplay with mass role playing in large groups? If not what are we missing? Why is it a little downing to not have the leather? I just feel as though I’m missing more too it. Love the video and your content but I am lost in the drain.
Loved the video! If you do another of this type maybe do it like a "here's what an okay entry level larp outift could look like" with like a price guide to show roughly estimates on costs
I think the thing about spending the same amount of money on quality stuff is a nice idea. I would definitely enjoy watching
I would like to see a video of where to buy proper larp stuff, how much it would cost, and what to buy
funny stuff!
I suspect that this whole video was just an excuse for Mark to wear a dress and a crown and I approve very much.
You think Mark needs an excuse to wear a dress and crown?
He really rocks it tho
Don't reveal my secrets!
Mark, you look wonderful 🤣
I suspect that this whole video was just an excuse for us to love mark in a dress and a crown 🤣
Brain cell 1: "Say catwalk"
Brain cell 2: "Say runway"
Mark: 17:43
at least he didn't say 'runwalk'
love a fine elvish princess who can just absolutely hulk out of her dress
Oh Mark, you've truly outdone yourself now... The "catway" poses... the honest cringe with many of the things...
I think I've never related to cringe so much while also laughing myself to tears!
"I mean you could wear these as a cosplay"
Me, the one wanting to dress up like a classic flippin assassino just once for Halloween because she's way too obsessed with Ezio for her own good: *"I'm listening"*
as a fan of Ezio, i approve of this! :)
The Ezio saga is hands down the best story arc in the AC universe so far. I have a full on crush on Ezio and Rule 63 Ezio cosplays are one of my favorite things on the internet.
@@craigbryant9925 Agree, definitely have a crush on Ezio (i also have one on Edward). which reminds me, i really should finish AC2...but i being playing other games as i don't want to finish the series too soon. :D
Ironically, that elf lady costume without the chest could easily pass for just a normal elf costume. Slay king, all shall love you and despair!
Keep in mind with wish and other websites they steal a photo of a real item that is either for sale for hundreds or like Bernadette Banner something made by a creative person who spent more on materials than the entire cost of the wish item and months of painstaking research and work to create a one of a kind item. Then they knock it off. So you are never seeing an actual photo of the item you are getting. You are seeing the item they gave their designer and told them "Make this, here is 5 dollars, I expect 10 thousand units ready next week".
As a cosplayer... I'm slightly offended by the "this is ok for cosplay" comments .... BUT I love this content still! Glad you shared this with us. Keep up the great work. Edited to add that I would love a follow up to this with good quality gear. Totally here for this!
I agree. I'd like to see a comparison with well crafted w good natural materials vs this made in China stuff for under 20d. You can't even buy a t shirt for 20d anymore. The bracers were unacceptable, didn't cover your forearm at all.
Yea, please follow up with some well crafted stuff!
cosplay does not need to survive mud and rain, nor running downhill through brush and thorn while being chased.
Cosplayers arnt stuck out in the rain and mud for 3 days straight
I’d be curious to see a compare and contrast between this and a “real” Larp apparel store.
Why is ''real'' in ''
I need answers
(Also you could get this www.epicarmoury.com/metal-works/complete-sets/warrior-complete-armour/c-297/p-22430/ for the same price of all that)
"You could wear this for cosplay"
Me and all the other cosplayers who go for 'as screen acurate as possible' and tend to spent up to 1k on Cosplay materials: "...
Me saying an item would be good for cosplay is not diminishing any of your hard work or effort. Some folks just want to wear cheap/bought costumes for fun.
I want to see the outtakes where Mark knocks stuff over while swishing around the cloak and Nina comes to yell at him
I want to see the out take where Nina reacts to Mark in that dress then laughs at him trying to get out of it.
I kinda imagine him sitting on the couch in it, having a pint, waiting for someone to come home and help him get out of it.
Well, you'd better do more videos like this, cause now I'm stuck here living and breathing for watching you model this stuff with your top-class model posing! Love it!
Deal!
maybe she's born with it, maybe the dress is ripping
at the seam at that. the dress is dead i don't think that can be fixed with any potion.
I love the poses mark does when he's trying things on cos it's exactly what I do in the bathroom mirror when testing out cosplay XD XD
Pretty much me too and honestly you have to do this to figure out how well you can move in it and how to pose for pictures with all the pieces on the cosplay.
Season 2 of the Witcher looking amazing.
But seriously Mark, this was a great video
"If you're from the US and don't know what trousers are, they're PAAAANTS". Hahaha.
I was like... man, what were you expecting, but then THE DRESS happened. Totally worth watching. I use wish extensively for crafting materials (wool, beads, hooks, etc...) and small accesories and so far got things with good quality/price ratio. Guess it is a matter of what you want to buy.
Loved how flamboyant the try ons were, throughly enjoyed this video!
mark, even though im not interested in larp, i've watched the whole thing. Genuine, funny, and entertaining. Glad to see you outside the DM scenario as well. Keep up the nonsense xD
I think my favorite model moves that Mark pulled off were the "I'm fighting with weapons, but I can be sexy while I do it." The "Look at these tears in my crappy dress. Aren't they lovely?" And finally "The Spank". Great work as always Mark 😂
Tfw you cosplay and try to make everything historically accurate and high quality but then wish stuff gets labeled as cosplay
I would personally love to hear about your recommendations for where a beginner should go to get larp kit!! You seem really knowledgeable about this
Well I only really do one system and don't know much about costumes, but I will do another video buying some good stuff for sure!
Gambeson honestly looks iffy. Might work for an event or two, but definitely I'd not sew any arming point to it (although it looks so thin it could actually be easy xD) Original could very well be 200 euros, tho xD if the image is to be believed, it's HEMA-grade and that stuff's expensive.
The pouch's closing system looks... questionable xD (especially for somebody like me who uses gauntlets)
Cloak doesn't look as bad as it could have been, tho!
The chestpiece looks unexpectedly legit!
The whole dress bit was already making me laugh but as soon as I saw the rips in the sleeves I lost it. I haven't laughed that hard at a video in a while. 10/10
The grimace before you pull stuff out of the packaging is amazing 😂
"They have deceived us." And that sums up the video 🤣
I love how seriously you take the whole catwalk/showing off the clothing. I needed this today.
I don't know mate, these items look pretty accurate to the medieval era. Cheap, made out of stuff you find in your barn and already dirty from your cows 😂
Very enjoyable video, keep them coming!
Bro, from one fake sword swinger to another, not all cosplayers use this cheap fake crap! xD
Also that last dress killed me!
Great video 😆
Yeah lmao he said "cheap, could be used for cosplay" and I was kinda genuinely offended TuT
I came across this vid on my recommendation, don't regret a thing, that last part was hilarious, earned a sub from me.
I don't LARP, but I had to stick around the absolutely brilliant commentry.
absolutely ;-)
Nothing brings me more joy than watching Mark in medieval attire while standing in front of the most modern looking shelf I've ever seen.
I'd just got a mouthful of tea when you did that turn in the elf costume to show us the ripped shoulders. It's lucky I've got good self control or that could have gone badly for my laptop. I'm not going to lie though, it was a close one.
I'm absolutely loosing my mind about how the image package 10 is almost definitely just a Galavant screenshot
I needed a laugh today, thanks for this! Saved me having my time and money wasted too. Great video love the new channel.
I'm loving the new channel. A lot of the D&D channels I watch are quite serious in their tone so I'm loving the more relaxed and funny tone of yours. Good job!
No the usual content I watch on here, but great none the less! Your reactions to the Wish products were great! UA-camr Bernadette Banner made a whole rant video about sites like Wish taking her photos of her hand made medieval gown and using it to sell the cheap knock offs like what you got.
Thanks for the content! I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your stuff!
Great tone-setter for the new channel! This makes me very glad that I already knew to avoid wish when I was getting stuff for my first Empire last year. Although I still have a long way to go in improving what I've got.
As an actual costume maker, this is actually making me cry xD
This is the most adorable video ive ever seen. Mostly negative reviews for items that are nicer than 93% of larpfits that exist.
"These are like child wrists"
Me: looking at my wrists, where I can reach the bottom of a Pringle's tube
"LIKE A GLOVE."
Edit: Nice to see the chaos you inspire, Mark asdfghjkl
I am jealous. I can't fit up to my knuckles in a pringles can
I've got tiny skinny wrists and forearms, so they'd definitely fit me. Not that I'm buying things from wish anymore
It’s such a handy life skill, until you’re the designated crisp reacher
I found this video in my recommended and loved it! Thank you! Subscribed.
This was a great watch. You have definitely helped me with deciding on future purchases
The best bit of this was the excitement from Mark over the leather armor, only to watch that excitement slowly drained from is soul as it turned to bitter disappointment over his supposed elvish dress.
This is the kind of quality content I'm here for. Kudos Mark!
I wonder if you could cheat with some of this. Like replace the buckles on the padded shirt would be cheap and you could use it with nicer gear. Same with the using thin shirts and pants under some nice chaps and leather armor to reduce heat to sort of bootstrap your LARP
That’s the trick to saving money. Cheap stuff, a few nice pieces and a bit of diy!
This was a great break for my studying.
Those cat walks though.. hilarious. Keep up the great work man! Can't wait to see the proper larp gear.
Super fun vid to watch! Missed your content so much Mark 😊
I'm so happy to see more LARP content from you I started watching from your first empire larp video and been wanting some more vids. the video was a laugh aswell seeing u doing like a mini cat walk type thing was hilarious.
the little fashion show segments oh god adorable
So entertaining AND informative. Great job mate.
It's been a year, and my favorite thing is still the way you've Merida-ed your way out of those dress seams.
Can tell right away how much fun you are having! May take awhile to build traction with this being a new channel but I sincerely hope it does, fun and educational to watch.
I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I clicked on this video... but I knew I had to stay after the cute gambison cat walk moment
The "leather" stuff looks like something for a bedroom roleplay :D But I am thinking about buying the gambeson as a jacket. It's cheaper than normal ones and doesn't look half bad! And you looked really good in the wig, elf ears and crown! :D
I got their "gambeson" a couple years ago. Slightly different design then but basically the same thing. The one I got had a really nice satin lining, a high collar, and once I added in gussets under the arms and adjusted where the straps were tbh it was a freaking excellent winter jacket. It looked cool and crushed down pretty small. Took a bit of work to get it where I wanted it, but for.. I think I paid around $34 with the shipping, I was happy. Do the thing! Have fun with it, you'll look rad!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video :) Thank you!
This is such a brilliant video idea! Well done sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the video!! Definitely made me smile after a rough week ☺️
Keep in mind that shirt that you think is thin and good for hot weather is likely plastic (85% polyester) and will be very hot.
Rofl I enjoyed this way more then I should have! Mark as always thank you for a very lovely video.
Absolutely phenomenal. Need more content pls
2nd vid ive seen and I love your channel already. You've got such a lovely personality/sense of humor!
Anyway, I feel like Wish is way better for larp accessories than actual clothes. They have surprisingly durable hip bags, and some weak-soled fairy lace up boots I got held up SURPRISINGLY long... though, to be fair, i Was standing on tiptoes the whole time for that character, so there wasn't that much ground-friction 😂) Their costume jewelry breaks really quickly though if there's any chains.
Oh this was fun! Great video Mark
Love the video, getting into the clothing and gear is something really interesting (and expensive) about Larp. Also are you gonna go back to doing any event recap or storytime videos once events start happening again? Or is it not your thing any more
I've really wanted to try Larping since your 3 men go larping video. So I'm really thankful you're doing more introduction stuff for it! I'd love to see a video on more... reputable Larp shops! Though luckily I'm quite creativily inclined so I think I'm going to attempt to make my own stuff when I save up enough and gain the courage. I'm really happy to see you uploading though, I turely love your content, expecially this more laid back stuff! Keep it up ❤
When you turned around for the first time and we saw you hulked out of the "gown" (firmly in quotation marks) - I DIED.
30 seconds in and I'm already laughing at the editing. I'm excited for more!
Good video Mark the new channels quality is amazing!
This was fantastic, the catwalk shots were amazing!
With some thermo leggings underneath you could totally make those pants work... though it would be nice if they were a bit more fitted.
32:07 Oh god, that cracked me up good, man. The cloak revealing that ripped fabric on the arm. Thats effin funny.
So glad to see more larping content, it's something that I can't exactly try but love to hear about!
I honestly will admit that I watched to the end because of all the 'cat walks'
Nonsense is what we all need from time to time :)
Well at least it is now absolutely crystal clear where all the costumes for latest Witcher episodes were bought :D Thanks for the review, it was truly fun to watch :)
This was a great watch! I've always wanted to get a really good costume for RPing but alas being quite introverted have never really looked into LARPing. That being said maybe in the next year or so I will take the plunge and finally get something, looking forward to your video detailing the right stuff to get. Hopefully it will apply internationally (am in Canada), for the good places to check out and order from!
Oh ! I like this video ! I can see that you just started youtube. It's nice, fellow larper.
Can wait to see what you are doing next. Maybe you could talk a bit about your start in the larp univers ?
I legitimately spat coffee on myself with the armpit rip reveal 😂🤣
Bravo sir 👏 more of this!
i love this video really made me laugh, youve done the cosplay/larp community a huge service with video, i look at this stuff on wish and think bet that'll be shit, and yes thanks to your video its nice to if it is or isnt thanks alot, love the rpg stuff in the background btw dude ... peace
Expectations vs Reality Wish Style. lol
I loved the part with the Dress. You madman absolutely made my day. thank you for that
Such great modeling poses and what a catwalk strut!! 🥰 I also approve. Plus - what a great way to show “Buyer Beware”..... *Wish.com*, I “wish” they were as portrayed on the website.
excellent music choices for all the "runway"/"catwalk" shots! delightful video overall!
Those 'catway' walks were fantastic! Keep up the great work :D
Alternative Title:
Free fashion show featuring Mark Hulmes. Hubba Hubba.
I enjoyed this a lot...I have ordered things from Wish, and been tempted and curious about their historical/LARP/cosplay type items. You confirmed my suspicions, and made me laugh, especially with your catwalk moves😄 Well done; you took one for the team and saved loads of people money, time and disappointment!!
This is a great vid, more please! To be fair I've got some ok cosplay stuff from wish but the quality can vary wildly
Ooo look at that strut! Love it Mark ❤️
This was fun! I'm definitely interested in a comparison video
Mark wearing a dress and wig = my new number 1 Waifu
Have you seen his Bowsette? That's something else
He does look pretty darn good when he crossplays.
@@arcticbanana66 He looks really good when he's in an actually good dress haha, this dress wouldn't look good on anyone
@@MazHem Yeah, this thing looks like a cheap convenience store Halloween costume.
I love how "I guess this is fine" quickly becomes the most positive response
You are so nerdy it made me giggle, not in a bad way. You just gained a sub.
I'm sooooo glad I saw your video, I was about to purchase a lot of Larp clothing for a photo shoot, including the dress you purchased .... So happy I saw this before I placed my order :-)
This was a very fun and good video! Scripted, pre-written Mark is very good for tutorials; but do you know what? I like this Mark, too. Keep up the good work.
Omg I'm dead! That blue thing near the end and headband! Lol
This video does a good job of showing that you need to be skeptical when it comes to buying anything from Wish, LARP-related items or other things.
I've personally had more good luck than bad, but most of what I've bought has been jewelry and small items, less so when it comes to more specific items. I still buy things from the site but make sure to scrutinize what items I'm interested in buying.
As far as LARP stuff goes, it's a mixed bag much like what your purchases showed.
All of the cat walks were amazing. I think you showed that something crap on the table can look kind of okay on someone with the right lighting.
I've never had the opportunity to larp being a wee uni student, but I've always been interested. Great vid really interesting to see the process
Medieval Vogueing has been created. Excellent work Mark. Absolutely fabulous.
So I subscribed, the history and fantasy lover in me wants to hear more because I honestly don’t know as much as I would like to about either.
(Also, really cool that you said female presenting. Idk why that caught me so off guard, but it did.)
