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 http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/...1338482109 http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/...1338482103 http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/...1338482090 http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/...1338482084 http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/...1338482065 http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/...1338482047 More on: https://picasaweb.google.com/10485000285...directlink# (notre ami Bardosenos) http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ http://s516.photobucket.com/albums/u323/...20Roscoat/
