I'm looking into a generic Eastern Iranian kit that would work as Arsacid or earlier -- basically an undecorated jacket and boots of Skythian type (I already have trousers), and I'm wondering if anyone sells readymade versions, or is this an unrealistic hope?
I'd also be interested in knowing whether there is any evidence for lace-up boots like the Thrakians wore. I know some peltasts wear Minnetonka moccasin boots and that would be an easy option, but I can't seem to find evidence for anything similar in Central Asia.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
