Can anyone recommend a place that sells vegan(!) leather goods for medieval reenactment/larp?
I'm looking for shoes that pass for ca. 1500AD, bonus if the merchant also sells vegan belts and/or pouches. I'm trying to prove reenactment doesn't have to hurt animals! 🐄

Optionally, does anyone have experience with making turn shoes from synthetic leather or something like pinatex?

So, let's talk about 1976. At the time, I was in a "special needs" program at a school way bigger than the 2 room village schoolhouse I had been attending. The teachers at the new school encouraged all the students to write essays about the #AmericanRevolution -- the prize being a trip to Philadelphia to participate in the #Bicentennial. I managed to win the contest with a very graphic essay about #GeorgeWashington's troops in #ValleyForge (mentioning the possibility of #cannibalism -- one of my obsessions at the time, along with Zombies). Anyhow, in order to participate in the parade, we had to dress in period clothes. I *insisted* on having a boy-man's uniform (which I made in a very public interview with the local press), and I got my way! And marched with the boys/men, with the fife and drum squad and flag bearers (I played the flute). Unfortunately, I was there by myself, with no family to take photos of me. But here's a photo of the group I was part of. And bonus... I got to spend the night at Valley Forge, telling my tales of Revolutionary cannibalism!

I get excited when I find a good contact for real costumes. Practical, wearable items always look better and last longer than party shop purchases. Meeting Raven at last weekend's renaissance faire was such a treat. Their knowledge of the intersection of fashion and history made dressing the character my late 13th century boots needed a lot of fun.

So here's the link to their website in the US in case any of you are also time travellers.

This year I‘m very much looking forward to the special and very important event of

Europe's largest #historical reenactment takes over #Gloucestershire every summer. Thousands of volunteers recreate the 1471 Battle of #Tewkesbury with terrifying accuracy, bringing the Wars of the Roses to life. The surrounding camps feature a massive market selling period crafts and mead. A brilliant way to see 15th-century life up close.

Und aus Niemals wird: Heute noch!

Ich hatte letztens die Ehre, an einem #Reenactment einer Kunstaktion von #chtodelat (#WasTun) teilnehmen zu dürfen. Die Ursprungsperformance fand vor 20 Jahren in russischer Übersetzung des zitierten Gedichtes mit kyrillischen Lettern unter anderen gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen statt. Heute im Exil! Das jedoch unterstreicht regelrecht die Worte von Bertold #Brecht:
