These are my new swordsman pants made by Lady Kathy Castrovinci. They fit wonderfully and feel great. As with everything Lady Kathy makes, the quality is superb! I am wearing the fighting jacket that I made and my comb-morion helmet.

Thanks so much! I worked long and hard on that jacket. Half a cow later and hundreds of little brass grommets and I had something. It has a cotton cloth lining and is sewed by machine and by hand. My original inspiration was the jacket worn by Liam Neeson in the movie "Rob Roy". Well, my jacket deosn't really look that much like his...unless he was into bondage or something else. But, I guess my jacket ends up looking like a simple medieval or early Renaissance Man-at-Arms  fighting jacket. And, that is good enough for this set of garb. I am just happy to have the pants that Lady Kathy made for me to go with it.
