Hi Dave!<br>
I made them from a nice woven wool tapestry fabric, as close as I could come to a good Roman pattern in wool. The tunic itself is also soft wool. It looks bright red in the photo, but is actually a deep wine red in color.<br>
I have found some hobnails that might work, from a reenactment "sutler" in Rhode Island, but the name escapes me right at this moment. If you will give me about 30 minutes, I will find his site and post the info here for you. <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, miles gregarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>
