Normally yes, but this sword is jist a nice looking LARP sword and is made of foam. Wouldn’t mind having a real one, but I like the option to pose for pictures.
Would love to go into detail on my outfits! I’ll have to write up a comprehensive note on everything and get back to it. Or make a video series on it.
The middle one is literally my crusader armor just minus the armor. Makes for a nice lightweight outfit for the fest. You can get some stuff super cheap for the festival really by being creative at goodwill.
Find some loose shirts, leather belts and just kinda layer stuff. My cape in my black outfit was a $20 fur blanket from marshalls.
The robe is a cheap ass harry potter robe from amazon. I used sand paper on it to give it some texture. The fur trim is from that fur blanket I got from marshalls. I just oulled the inner liner from the fur blanket and used it as a cape, and the the fur for the trim of my robe. The skull mask is a $20 plastic mask from amazon with some accryllic paints used for weathering. The necklaces and adornments, cheap trash from hobby lobby.
I’d love to break down everything further, but will take some time. Just really thought into what you wanna do and get creative with stuff you can find. You can out together a simple outfit pretty cheaply. I HIGHLY recommend medievalcollectibles.com that’s where I found a lot of mt specific stuff that I couldn’t make from repurposed things.
Also the crusader was about a year/2 in the making. Every paycheck, I would buy one piece. If on a budget, take your time and just piece it out. As you get different things, you can use different parts for different outfits.
