"I don't care HOW anachronistic some folk may think it, I cannot manage a whole weekend without properly brewed tea and coffee. And anyway, this is fantasy LARP, not reenactment. Get over it."
Wow. BREATHE! And unlax. Since it is fantasy LARP, does it matter at all what some folk may think about anachronisms? (Those wouldn't be the same folk trying to conceal---or not conceal---their all too modern steel or aluminum cans of their beverage of choice, would they?)
"I have also commissioned a lovely medieval style leather girdle with a ring rather than a buckle, and a pouch to go with it. They were not cheap, but they will be lovely and last many years. Pics when it gets here." Curious to know about the belt with the ring. Keen to see pics, too. For the longest time, we've been cheerfully admitting we have no documentation for that particular SCA "convention." Belts with rings instead of buckles have been used in the Society for Creative Anachronism virtually since the very first tournament held back in 1966. No one gets on

No documentation for the belt from me! I just rather like the look of it, and it fits with my character. The ring is patterned, but with nothing that looks cultural, tribal, or anything like that. I'm fighting my instinctive grab for all things Celtic and Viking, and going for something more generic and abstract

Hey; my leather "ring belt" [SCA glossary, although unofficial; if you speak of a "ring belt" we all know what is meant within SCA context] was my first "official" piece of garb, and I still have it and love it and for earlier period encampments I definitely still use it. I had already made several tunicas before that belt, but that belt (made from my purchased belt blank, a heavy ring, and one rivet supplied by the friend who did the riveting) somehow made everything good, even the belt pouch made of fabric cut aways from other projects. To this day I couldn't tell you exactly why: it just felt good, having it and wearing it.
