I pretty much only have one dress that I wear to feasts now, the rest of my stuff is for mucking around in - boys clothes. I have 4 sets of braies, a pair of linen hose and a pair of wool hose, my shoes get worn for everything, I have two woollen tunics - one old one, made from a woollen blanket, hand-sewn, using threads pulled from the rest of the blanket, it now has a hole in the bottom hem where it got scorched, and horse blood stains, and stained cuffs, and one other woollen one which is newer and so hasn't acquired interesting marks yet. My undertunic has blood stains from when I had a bleeding nose, and grease stains from wiping my hands on it. And yes, I aim for the same level of authenticity in my day wear and my speccy stuff. I'm currently handsewing a woollen coat for Craig, based on an effigy from 1357, and then I'm going to hand-sew a new cotehardie and supertunic based on a brass from around the same time. I go to medieval events to look, play and do medieval stuff with other like-minded individuals - and socialise while I'm doing it.
