Actually, there seems to be quite a variance across the Known World
whether garb is worn at fighter practices or not. Even within my own
barony it has varied. When our main fighter practice was on Sunday
afternoons it was common to wear garb. When the Tuesday evening
fighter practice became the only one, wearing garb generally stopped
being done. Probably because many folks came straight from work. Now
that we are starting up Sunday fighter practices again, the espectation
is that garb will be worn.

For more on fighter practices, and I think this detail, check this file
in the CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS section of my files:
fight-prac-msg    (14K)  1/22/96    SCA fighter practices.

SCA Sociology can be an interesting study. See more files in the
SCA-SOCIOLOGY and SCA-STORIES sections of my files.

Inside fighter practices? How wierd. :-)
