Ok, time for an observation. For non combat related occurences wool would
wear ok. As someone who fights in wool on occasion. I will NOT add another
layer of it to my fighting gear. As a practical application while on non
court duty, both linen and wool have a tendency to snag( although I will
admit to being rather brutal to my garb, gear, friends,.... you get the
drift) and I fear the longetivety of the tabards, also if the later period
folk in the guard do make half-cloaks?, wool sounds pretty bad over doublet
and blouse in anything over 50 degrees. However I am willing to act as
guinea pig in the service of my baronage as far as Guard uniform goes.
