One of the first books I read about making medieval clothing all those years ago when I first joined the SCA. For years I had a xeroxed copy as the book was out of print. Very glad to see that it is back. Some of the patterns are a bit strange, but with a little tweaking they do work.

so many different hats, the shoes are awesome and comfortable and wow they really thought about hose. Not too easy to follow directions but very interesting. They made clothes like weavers would - kind of like medieval Japan - they used all that cloth
Damnable gusset! We're going to look stunning, but for now, I am benumbed by the vague instructions.
