I must say, a lot of your advice has been really helpful over the years (converting hoodies to medieval hoods, proper layering, etc.) My own budget costumes are much richer for having watched your stuff. So thanks mate, and keep doing what you do!
Converting hoodies to medieval hoods? I need to look for that video! Do you remember the name?
It's an older one... I believe it's just called "Turning a modern hoodie into a medieval cowl." Really simple guide for a DIY hood (I still get a lot of use out of mine).
@@TheMadPoetHimself Cool! I'll look for it
Not just the story of the character wearing the costume... but a representation of the originating culture, real or fictional, from which that character hails.
Yep, at a glance you can say “you’re not from around here, are you?”, plus mismatched “details” like pouches made of different types of leather in different styles (for example) might mark the wearer as someone who travels a lot and has to replace gear at need… or possibly as a thief…
@@markfergerson2145 Or, think of a more official-unofficial incognito scenario;
In case an an enemy regime might otherwise notice you in their territory in a way that might normally be attention-grabbing, the indecipherable ambiguity to be found in the appearance of a man adorned with all those multicuturally diverse items would effectively obfuscate any clear signs of who he answers to in the carrying out of whatever spy duties he might be sent out to perform (or whatever his clandestine mission might be).
Also, this advice speaks to my old SCAdian heart! Wear. Your. Garb. I'm fortunate that I have a "RenFam" crew who LOVE garbing up and going to events - Pirate's Creed concerts, renfaires, vikingfests, CelticFest, an on an on. I get to wear my garb LOTS.
After having watched the cloak video, I made myself a rawana cloak. This last Wednesday, it was going to rain, and the temperature was going to drop. So, I wore my cloak to work. I also have an orange witch hat. When I got off work, it was raining. I got my purse and backpack on, put my cloak on over it, and my hat. When my coworkers saw me, I got teased about being from Middle Earth. I agreed that I was the tallest in the Shire. And it kept me dry and warm since I lined it with a cheap fleece blanket.
The longer mustache looks great on you. Not quite handlebar, not quite Snidely Whiplash, but very much awesome.
I think it would be awesome if you reviewed costumes from medieval movies such as any number of robin hood movies, king Arthur, even a knights tale. Talk about what's historical and what's anachronistic and what works and what doesn't.
There really aren't any LARPs close to me, but we do have a small ren faire nearby. I need to get more garb made and find more venues to wear it. I find your videos super useful, even if they are focused on male characters; the basics still apply.
I'm glad to have one dense video to go over as a reference, as your videos have helped me think about these things as a fantasy writer. I can't use all of your advice, but the big thing about writing is that you never know what detail is most useful until you're sitting down to write. So, thank you.
Thank you Kramer!
Piecing together this video must've sent you down memory lane.
And the explosion of growth you received from just after the earliest days of your channel.
It's neat to see the old backgrounds and footage from the days of yore.

4:17 And that stache 🧔♀️
magnifique
Aw yiss, all useful info in ONE video!
I'm returning to LARP, so this is essential for me 🖤
We need more costume videos!

This is a great one!! Love the Supercut!
As much as I know that this video is for building fantasy/medieval costumes, I believe this is also great advice for your everyday outfits as well! :D Great video!
Such a wealth of knowledge in this video. You were droppin some BOMBS! Loved it, as usual. Super practical and I definitely learned a few tips I hadn't considered before. Made me laugh too! Great video Kramer. Love that you're sharing your knowledge with us, thank you. God bless!
It's the greatest hits of your costuming, very well put together to be informative and fun.
Ahh yes, costuming definitive edition
I knew the Ruana Cloak section of the cloak video was going to make an appearance.
Some great advice you put together here, sincerely hoping people will put it to good use.
I guess some of these tips apply to modern clothing too. I know some people go exactly this deep into their everyday clothes. I could never be a fashionista lol.
Thanks for putting this all in one spot.
Thanks so much for the great vid! Your videos have helped me with my costuming and this is a great compendium of your awesome tips!
I went to a costume party last night.
One guy was dressed as a vacuum cleaner and another as a porch swing.
We all agreed the first guy sucked and the second guy rocked.
I don't know if I should boo or politely clap.
😂 hahaha 😅
7:40 The Hobbits' clothing was basically 18th century, too, so this isn't out of sync with the rest of the movie (or at least with this particular movie franchise).
In short, form follows function.
Also, great, now I need a ruana cloak.
We definitely need to Make Cloaks Great Again. I might be prejudiced in that direction given that I live in the Pacific Northwet mind you…
6:50 I think the long hunters are the best historical example for fantasy adventurers.
17:32 a breastplate should only cover the ribcage. There is a reason why “large plate” brigandines are built the way they are.
Thanke you, sir!
I fond if I can't wear it daily it's not worth wearing. Heck I've worn my bracers to work lots of times. It's helped protect my arms from many injuries and honestly added age an a bit of wear to them.
Not the supercut just making me want to go back and rewatch all the old videos!
1:34-1:49 You are the Whirlwind! 🌪️
I haven't gone to a Ren Faire in several years but I'm seriously starting to question "authenticity" with vague fantasy. In my case, I have a wonderful wool Franciscan robe (seriously, I was at one event when the skies poured rain, and the wool was better than a modern rain jacket) , But the question of the "accessories" (do I need a cincture, or a leather belt, or do I need Birkenstock sandals vs. soft sole Medieval looking boots) is something that I really start to think about for the next Ren Faire I might be attending.
Can you please do a review on kili's quiver from the hobbit I love your videos❤
Men's fashion may not be as varied as Medieval times but at least we have pockets now.
This is all such excellent advice, and I'm not disagreeing one bit......but i have to imagine people in the old days probably did wear or carry things simply because they thought they looked cool.....of course i realise relying on that excuse would definitely take away from coherence of your outfit.
Step one: dress up as Aragorn
Step two:

Interestingly, I've seen women in mideval art with a belt at the hips, and holding a hand bag because pouches will pull your belt down if you have it lower. But I have not seen any men wear it at the hips.
So even though ladies have the choice, why choose the one that makes you carry a purse? Embrace the pocket life fellow ladies!!!
Kramer aging in real time
What are the dimensions on that cloak at 7:50?
51 seconds after it hits and i'm still not the 1st, damn
im very much a larger man I dont suppose you have any tips or if anything changes for me ?
Do you think you can bring back cooking anachronism
I'd love to bring them back in one form or another, but probably not exactly how I was doing them before. They didn't do as well as my normal videos, so the algorithm was actually getting confused, I'd have one video that did very well, and one video that did half as well in the same week, every week.
@@LivingAnachronism I understand, thank you for the honest answer! And I appreciate the videos you did make previously. But keep doing what you’re up to, I’m here to support 100% of the way. Best channel on RUclips!
