If it's "periodish" it probably belongs in a fantasy society's A&S, not
in the SCA. Tolkein is "periodish". So are elf costumes.If the
materials are period, and/or construction methods are period, and/or
final apperance is period, and similar items existed within period, then
chances are that you could actually document it.

Periodish, as defined by Mahee:
It would make sence for someone to have tried it, but I cann't
prove that someone did, IE: I am currently card weaving a belt.-thats
period. I am weaving the belt in such a way that there is a point at the
end-don't know if that is period or not. I am doing my own design, and
not following any pattern I know of as being period. I am adding a braid
into my pattern-no idea of that is period either.
Periodish-not fantasy
