Hey everyone. As I have probably mentioned before, Carlos will be attending his first Pennsic this year (War Week only). This means that I will need to make him a bunch of garb.
Yipeee!
Anywhoo, he does have a couple of pairs of Gypsy Peddler's breeches and a doublet, as well as some shirts. He will probably need a couple more shirts and, if time allows it, another doublet. Nevertheless, I was planning on making him some simple, early period mix-and match breeches and tops in linen, and a good woollen cloak. Maybe a hood if he's very lucky.
However, as everyone knows early period is not my thing. By that I don't mean that I don't like it, but simply that I am not that knowledgeable of it. Can someone point me to some easy-to-make garb for a growing teenager? Maybe some Norse of Viking? Anything? Buehler? Buehler?
It will be much appreciated.

Bunch of potentially-helpful clothing links at http://moas.atlantia.sca.org/wsnlinks/index.php?action=displaycat&catid=10 of course (there are sections in there on hoods and cloaks, too); for easy-to-make garb, check out the tunic instructions at http://www.virtue.to/articles/tunic_worksheet.html or http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/beginners/FirstGarb.html
The tunics that
severus_bracae makes for himself are based on Herjolfsnes 33/34 -- see http://www.forest.gen.nz/Medieval/articles/garments/H33/H33.html or http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/cloth/herjol33.html -- these are even easier, as it they don't have center front/back gores, just side gores.
You know (and don't hate me for this) you could cheat with the pants since it's Pennsic (and less than 3 months away) and just do the pajama-generic pants. They're easy and who the hell cares if he gets em dirty.
