Need some help finding some garb. I have most items for my char all ready, but i am trying to blend a ranger with a bit of elven and was wondering if anyone knew a good place to find elven tabards, tunics and leather armor? I have been on Etsy a lot but cant quite find what I am looking for. Planning on going with some nice leather spaulders and tasset once I find the right tunic. https://www.etsy.com/listing/153810348/brown-spaulders-pair-with-3-different (https://www.etsy.com/listing/153810348/brown-spaulders-pair-with-3-different) / https://www.etsy.com/listing/169986305/leather-leaf-tasset-upper-leg-armor (https://www.etsy.com/listing/169986305/leather-leaf-tasset-upper-leg-armor)
Looking for something longer like a tabard like this, but with a little more of an elven twist. I'd post some pics but I cant figure out how to upload on the forums layout.

First, make sure your faire is okay with playtrons play fantasy characters. I know many are okay with decent garb but draw the line at playing a character. I have met several people that have been kicked out of faires for having an "act" - even though they weren't asking for money or doing anything other than playing the part of their character.
Since you are going Lord of the Rings - ish, use LoTR for a keyword in your searches. You will not find exactly what you are looking for unless you make it yourself or pay someone $$$ to make it for you.
As for uploading - you don't on forums. You upload the photo to a hosting service - I love ipernity but I know many others use things like snapfish. Once it's uploaded, copy the location of the jpg or gif, and then click on this button (http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/Themes/default/images/bbc/img.gif). Second row, first button. Up will pop up the bbcode for images. Just put the image location between the two tags.
Your the best! Very helpful information thank you.

He hand makes elven armor to size-If I remember (It's been about 9 years since I last chatted with shadow wolf and his wife) It is molded PVC, not metal, so it's not made for actual combat play.
They specialize in cosplay for the serious fan.
