We stand ready to help a brother in arms! The pattern making world has 
seemingly awakended to the needs of period re-enactment folks, and have come 
out with quite an expansion this year, so I guess we need to know more about 
the size you need, and, if you wish, we can pick up something appropriate.

Lucky you to have talented seamstresses to work from pictures! If you need to 
reference those, I suggest checking out the downtown location of the Tulsa 
Public Library - they have the mother lode of costuming books. The books are 
all grouped together, under costuming. If you can't make it there, I have 
xeroxed a good half of one of the books, since that is around my time period, 
and you are welcome to look at them, or I will fax appropriate copies to 
wherever you need.

Now, consider that a good  ol' pair of sweat pants work very well for 
fighting use. For "dressier" the loose tunic style pants are pretty easy to 
make. Do you need fabric, have an idea of what you want and what you can 
afford and want us to pick out something? I would venture to say that 
Mistress Catrin is about as expert in that area as they come.

Let me know on any of the above and we'll get on it for you.

And by the way, what kind of sneaky, Norman-ish turn-coat behavior is warning 
the authorities of our intended acts of plunder, hm-m??  Don't you know that 
"girls just wanna have FUN??" LOL.
