I'm not sure that indigo is period, although it may be late period. But 
this is also the only place I've seen real *woad* for sale. The same 
vender carries oak galls imported from England for making ink.

Oh! Wow! I could use some of that. I've got a few pieces of period 
style furniture, but none that will unpack or pack my camp for me!
:-)

Unfortunately, at least for men, I've mostly seen generic T-tunics and 
usually from cotton broadcloth. I'd really like to see more that were 
closer to a Norman style tunic and perhaps even made out of wool or 
linen. Sigh.
