Honestly a video or two about how to make a costume look worn and beat up would be amazing! Everything from detailing fabric to metal and leather!
Chris Collins we have a couple of those we produced last year! You can find them on our channel! But we may do more in the future!
Looks like the start of a great series! Would love to hear your thoughts on realistic yet practical boots, and ways of carrying water.
FolkOfTheWood the boots video is coming next week! Water is a great idea!
This is great! I’m already making notes. I’m gonna print out “Function = Believability” and stick it to the wall so whenever I work on costumes, I’ll see it.
1) Thank you for this series! It'll be a resource I didn't know I needed until now.
2) "Pants-less peasants" = me stifling laughter in the family room at 1am
You sir have glorious hair. Also cool video and very useful for a beginning fantasy writer to ground the clothes in more reality
Haha! Thanks so much!
I’m excited about this series! I’m not very familiar with the LARP world so I’d like to hear more about gear makers; I’m a maker myself so I would appreciate content on methods and materials as well.
Absolutely! Many more to come!
That's me too, MAKER. So Interesting and Exciting! I'm Inspired
The tips start at 4:30. The beginning is mostly disclaimers and intro. You can still watch it if you want to.
Looking forward to this useful series. Especially sources and materials.
Lots to come!
This is a great resource. I love your point about function = believability. Having done the full-plate knight kit the hard way with very little functionality I can attest to this one-hundred percent. Thanks!
I feel you there! Lots of learning from past mistakes here too!
Great video! Thank you
You are welcome!
Can you do a behind the scenes of the costuming used in The Fox and the Dragon?
Love it! Those tips make a great list of questions to answer while planing. Thanks for sharing. ♡
I'd love to see you guys working around color palletes. Using one shot from one of your short films, a photo from Instagram. Something like... "in this photo we chose those colours pared to this ton ou leather armour, because it fits better with location" or whatever logic you use.
Great idea!
This is wonderful
Yes, That's right where I am. Choosing components. This is Exactly what I needed
This is very helpful! I'm a beginner cosplayer. So I hope to get ideas and tips in these videos!!
I’ve followed y’all on Instagram for quite a while now, but I had no idea y’all had a UA-cam! Definitely subscribed. This video was fantastic, it has such good advice and tips.
very informative. Would love to see this done in a future episode where you plan and execute this from start to finish for a character concept. I've seen you do this for a cos-player but I'd love to see it with a larper or reenactor. Thanks :)
This is so helpful.! I'm definitely going to watch for more videos.!
Glad it is helpful! Lots to come!
i'm creating a humanoid smaug cosplay and this is really helpful!!
i really like this broad overview, its super helpful for a bunch of people with different ideas and also for me who has no idea what i'm making yet :D
Anyone have recommendations on the best place to get medieval clothing (1150-1335AD) for men (English), women (Iberian) and children that also doesn't look out of place in the modern world?
I was thinking that footwear like the following could suit (whilst not necessarily being perfect)
Men: Sandals, Espadrilles, Ropes Sandals, Empire Sandals, Leather Thongs, Menorcan Sandals, Gladiator Sandals, Clogs, Monk Strap, Moccasins, Woven Sandals, Suede Loafer, Chukka Boots, Chelsea boots, Plimsolls, Cuban Heel Chelsea Boots, Chukka Desert Boot, Driving Shoes,
Women: Strappy Tie-up Sandals, Knotted Suede Toe Post Sandal, Cross Strap flat sandals, Raffia double strap slide sandals, woven leather tie leg sandal, Mules, Clogs, Over the Knee Boots, Ballet Flats, Lace Up Knee High Boots, Stirrup Boots, Slouch Boot, Desert Lace Up Shoes, Cuban heel western Chelsea boot with buckle detail.
Likewise, Quilted Clothing (like Quilted Sweatshirt, Quilted Puffer Coat, Quilted Coat, Quilted Tracksuit Pants, Quilted Tracksuit Top, Quilted Jumper) could suffice for Civilian Gambeson.
I’m also thinking that Tunics (Knee, Cocktail, Midi or Maxi Length), Leggings, Tights, Long Sleeved V Neck Shirt, Tank Top, Henley Shirt, Track Pants, Hoodie, T-Shirt with Notch Neck, Driving Gloves, Suede Gloves, Leather Gloves could be used.
Correct me if I’m wrong
I'd love to see an overview of all of the armor/ weapons in your shop and the tools used to make them.
Hey, I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on what warriors/martial artists would wear in the 600's or Medieval era?
It really depends on where they are from!
me and my friends are making a fantasy story just for fun and i think we made the arms and armor too realistic, we just ripped them off from history, what should we add or change in order for them to look unique but still be believable?
You can mix and match a bit, also just small tweaks here are there can make it unique. But honestly some of the best fantasy does that. Tolkien used almost all historical armor in LotR. You can also mix and match cultures with similar technology.
Oh god, don't combine stark white and cream *shivers*
Taking the pants off is very awkward from our modern perspective, but probably more practical for air flow and cooling with the long shirts. The crotch holds a lot of heat.

Cool.
Thanks bruh
Suggestion: Do a "power point" as opposed to a talking head. Keep the illustration photos coming and just talk over them.
very long, long into, too much time passed till getting to the point / topic of video
