Tunics were baggy so it's not a problem (except for the modern slaves of fashion) 8-)

Photos from our last private camp in Brittany.
For those who don't know us (Letavia), we are portraying a bunch of late 5th century Briton warriors, fighting Franks and Saxons as the last "roman" troops of the Western Roman Empire mentionned by Procopius.

That was an occasion for a first cavalry training and a 5th century baptism Smile

Some very good photographs. Looks as if you were all having a good time too.
