for the extra sleeves instead of a wearable garment, I think an unorthodox-shaped bag or pouch would be interesting. And it would make sense for an adventurer to reuse loose fabric. Plus if you use the same chrometan leather it can match your vest! Just a thought! Love what you're doing mate!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1V-1-RCo5s&t=795">13:15</a> you should use those to add hidden pocked inside the piece you just altered. when you sew them in, continue the sewing line so it looks like a kinda pattern on the outside.

I actually have very little interest in getting into LARPing. But I do play DND and I have been getting into bushcraft stuff a lot the last few years. I feel like this still all translates. I love your videos! If nothing else, the editing and your talking is super entertaining. And I just want to make a full character and outfit for no reason whatsoever. Keep doing all the awesome things!

Double fold your hems so they won't fray with use or forget folding and seal the whole thing in bias tape. It can add a cool border and you won't lose fabric to the hem.

Be careful with Garath's pipe. On your elbow that stem will take a beating. You may want to install it on a loop on the inside of your surcoat. I get the Churchwarden style, between Gandalf and its actual use, it makes sense for a fantasy ranger type. But practicality (since he probably isn't smoking it on patrol) a short stem would work most effectively in dealing with breakage. <br><br>The Churchwarden (ostensibly) gives your eyes a break from the lighting process so you can maintain your vision without obstruction. (You know, being warden of a church or something at night.) But you may just want to make a firm leather case specifically for the pipe, to protect it. <br><br>I love that pipe man. I have been buying and smoking pipes for 25 years, and that was a fun project. I'd hate to see it lost.

if you find your bracers falling down towards your wrist; use the sleevs to go under the bracers. the little bit of bulk will help keep them in place. Also, they will protect your wrists from the leather edge rubbing them raw

I'd call your character Hex. A big part of making LARP fun for everyone is playing along with the little things.

I just bought a top at the Renaissance faire that ended up a tad too small for me, but I’m going to use these tricks to make it fit me! Genius!

Use the sleeves for jack straps or "Leg wraps"

That fabric would make a great scarf! Scarves go undervalued in LARP, can be taken off for bushcraft needs, cleaning cook gear, stopping a wound temporarily, and above all else: temperature control! Soak it to cool off or cover your nose and mouth to warm up. Also, every rapscallion rogue needs a scarf
