- 4. Why do we need Garb? In order for Belegarth to maintain a certain level of believability we need to wear garb. We are Belegarth MEDIEVAL Combat and garb helps us to look and feel more Medieval than jeans and a tee-shirt do. Garb is not something people made up to make you look stupid, or feel stupid. Good garb is just as or more comfortable than your mundane clothing. We are here to work with you to find a garb style that fits the medieval fantasy feel of the game and is comfortable for you.
- 5. Basic Garb is: Basic garb is one step up from Minimum Garb. It is a simple tunic with pants or a dress It can be bought or made It is easy to learn to do It works with your persona if you are in to Role Play aspect of the game
- 6. Basic “Male” Garb Basic “Male” garb can be A simple t-tunic A pair of nurses pants with side pockets removed (Neutral coloured) Marshal Arts Pants A pair of shoes or boots of muted colour (black, grey, brown) A kilt or war skirt Simple Baggy Drawstring pants As a note this is not strictly male garb, ladies are free to dress HOWEVER they want…they don’t HAVE to wear only dresses or skirts in Belegarth.
- 8. Basic Female Garb • Basic Female Garb is: – Peasant Skirt – Wrap Skirt – T-Tunic Dress – Simple Chemise Top – T-Tunics – Baggy Pants – Footwear that is muted in colour Female fighting garb is more or less the same as male garb, ladies can and sometimes do wear skirts to fight in, these skirts are normally modified( silts cut or gores added) to allow for better movement
- 10. Basic Monster Garb I am NOT a Monster each race has different things that make them who they are this is just an overview of what I have learned about monster garb Pants are still baggy, often tattered with patches Patches are common place, as is “bad” sewing, seams on the outside kind of thing If you’re a Goblyn you want to have you elbow and knees covered If you’re a hat troll you need a hat troll hat and coat Ogre’s arms and sometimes torso are bare Mech Goblyns are often found wearing goggles Bugbears wear an arm covering over the arm their God Blessed War braids are common in monsterdom Body Paint (each race are different coloured) Skirts are also often tattered, and multi-coloured Layers are common SHINY IS IMPORTANT!!!!!
- 12. “Found” Garb Found Garb is something more or less Goodwill or Thrift store garb It is things that can pass as garb but are actually modern/mundane pieces like simple peasant tops with embroidery on them, peasant skirts, and scrubs with pockets removed The Goodwill Tunic is part of what I consider “Found” Garb
- 13. The Goodwill Tunic The Goodwill Tunic is a polo shirt, long or short sleeved, that has been turned into garb It has had all its hems removed (sleeve and bottom) It has had its collar and buttons removed Put holes into the shirt where the buttons were and lace cord through them You have a tunic that passes, its not amazing but it passes
- 14. Resources The SCA is a great resource, find your local SCA group and talk to them about Arts and Sciences Nights. There will often be someone will to help teach you how to make garb Simplicity Easy to Sew Pattern Line has many easy to sew pajama pant patterns that work well for pants Ask around the Belegarth Boards on the Medieval Arts and Sciences Board, someone will answer you Many Belegrim have collected resources over time, talk to someone in your realm, if they don’t have them they will know someone who does

Editor's Notes
- Introduce class and self “Welcome to Garb 101, I am Antoinette of Thunder Guard and I am here to talk to you about basic garb this evening”
- Talk about what garb means and why its important - garb is medieval clothing - it is our “uniform” - it makes us look less like random people and more like a group - add to the over all feel of the event and game in general - garb does not have to cost a lot, you put into it as much as you want to et out of it - garb is personal and creative - garb adds to your persona if you are in to RP - garb is fun and enjoyable Garb is defined by the Book of War as “the clothing to be worn by all participants of Belegarth.” Minimum garb is defined by the BoW as 1.2.1 A tunic or tabard covering the torso. 1.2.1.1 Neutral colored t-shirts, with no visible printing, or sports bras may be worn underneath a tunic or tabard. 1.2.1.2 Wearing nothing on the torso is acceptable for men. 1.2.2 Baggy pants or trousers covering the legs. 1.2.3 Skirts, Kilts, and Dresses are acceptable substitutes. 1.2.4 Footwear should be muted colors, boots are preferred athletic shoes should be of a dark color and not unnatural. Barefoot or Sandals are acceptable. Does not have to be expensive.
- Garb is NOT: T-shirts that are brightly colored, white, with visible logos, with visible collars, and or visible pockets. Camouflage or military issued cargo pants. Modern jeans of any color. Modern hats. (Cowboy Hats, Baseball Caps, Cabby Hats, Fedoras) Any fabrics with modern prints. (To some degree) Something to make us look stupid Something that is hard to do Something that will cost you your first born child Garb doesn’t have to suck the life out of you, it doesn’t have to be a restrictive thing,
- In order for Belegarth to maintain a certain level of believability we need to wear garb. We are Belegarth MEDIEVAL Combat and garb helps us to look and feel more Medieval than jeans and a tee-shirt do. Garb is not something people made up to make you look stupid, or feel stupid. Good garb is just as or more comfortable than your mundane clothing. We are here to work with you to find a garb style that fits the game and is comfortable for you.
- I consider basic garb a step up from minimum garb, It can is very simple It shows your dedication to the sport and to yourself
- This is more unisex garb because in Belegarth girls are not forced to wear dresses and skirtsi f they do not want to, they can wear pants and tunics and beat on all the boys if that’s is their want. Basic Male garb can be A simple t-tunic A pair of nurses pants with side pockets removed (Neutral coloured) OR Simple Baggy Drawstring pants OR Marshal Arts Pants A pair of shoes or boots of muted colour (black, grey, brown) A kilt or war skirt All this garb is easily made and we will talk about find patterns, garb makers, or online stores at the end of the class
- These are photos of basic male/unisex garb. You see a simple goodwill long sleeve green shirt and a grey Goodwill Tunic over top, black marshal arts pants with black shoes on the left. The middle photo is a simple green tunic with keyhole neckline, black drawstring pants, a ring belt and brown shoes. The photo on the right is nearly the same as the miffle but the shirt is more pirate-y
- Found Garb is a term I came up with for garb that is really mundane/modern clothing it just looks like garb. It is things like solid colored peasant skirts, peasant tops with embroidery, nurses pants with the side pockets removed, plaid pajama pants, poufy pirate shirts The Goodwill Tunic is “Found Garb” The Good will Tunic is a long or short sleeve polo shirt with all the buttons, collar, cuff, and bottom hems removed, lace some leather cord though the left over button holes, adding holes where the buttons where and there you have a simple tunic
