As a part of our recreation, we wear clothing derived from historical styles known as garb. This garb can vary from faithful recreation of specific items of clothing based on paintings and archaeological finds, to taking the style of specific forms of clothing to creating our own variations, using our own heraldic colours and available materials to create the feeling that we are living in centuries past. Whilst you can see garb in many forms from all cultures pre-1600, members of Phoenix Rise largely wear Viking and Crusader era garb, with some also wearing later period English and Italian styles.
This page has been broken up into the work of group members with completed items and progress shots of garb being made, and general helpful links for making your own.
