Just ordered Nauticalia Submariner Sweater so when I get home in a few weeks i can give a report on what I think of them and how they fit.
Thanks for all the links
If you are in PA you have to go to FIG! take a day off and go see it, you won't be disappointed. If I wasn't on the other side of the world I'd be there.
Here is who taught me to build my bow, one of the greats
http://selfbow.com/
A true keeper of lost knowledge. We used all hand tools the same as would have been used 600-800 years ago. I need to go back and build a true English Warbow of at least 90# just because.
I remember watch Howard...
I don't think I ever introduced myself here. I came here to read about formal dress mostly and then branched out. I'm not necessarily interested in vintage per say or even hats, but classic and timeless men's fashion. (and I love looking at the womens fashion, and the incredibly beautiful women...
yes 55# would probably be fine. I'd feel a little better with a stronger bow. But mostly no one I know bow hunts and if I did meet people they would be using compounds and camo, etc. I've already done that, not interested in the cabelas camo fashion show, or high tech bows.
Plenty of my...
Slighty of subject. If you are in the PNW and want to do french/western front, italian, or eastern front partisan/resistance at reenactments drop me a line.
Yes and then there is the making of the arrows. I have a couple war arrows I made but I would need to build practice arrows and hunting arrows of the same demensions, etc. Then full buckskins, then...., then...
It's hard to know when to stop!
Yes i have thought about it but two things: One, I would probably build another bow in the 75-85 pound range, my current bow Ii made to be really easy to shoot as I used to have a bad right shoulder, so it's only 55#. Second. and this is the big one, I'd have to practice A LOT. I wouldn't be...
Decent enough guns.
I have a LOT of modern guns. I shoot thousands (5-10k) of rounds a year. Almost all of them are military styled. I have no interest in hunting with any them, or any other modern gun for that matter.
Painting miniature soldiers and tabletop wargaming is something men and boy have been doing for a couple hundred years. Not the same games they played in the day but the same idea. I mostly play WWII and they would have been playing Napoleonics, Revolutionary War, or something like that. I enjoy...
I don't consider myself to dress vintage nor do I want to. I am trying to develop a style that is classic/timeless but with an edge. Not a copy of any past eras or styles but inspired by them: A little European, a little 30-40's, a little bespoke / 007, a little Luftwaffe, throw in an outdoor...
cheapest way to try reenacting for sure, and you get to dress fun. I have my "french" resistance and my russian partisan impression put together. Just need an event when we have too many Germans so I can switch sides.
Yes I have a decent amount of friends, many very good friends. I've been told I'm lucky. I also have a very large pool of good acquaintances. Over the years I hermit'ed up a few times or considered myself too busy in life; and lost the chance to be good friends with some really quality people...
