We’re expecting a cold night for our parade so please dress accordingly. Wear gloves. Cover your head. Dress in layers. An outdoor store such as Massey’s on North Carrollton is a good place to find thermal underwear made for serious outdoor adventures. DO NOT put a modern coat on top of your medieval costume. However, medieval coats of all kinds are welcome. Furs, cloaks, scarves, shawls and wraps would have kept medieval folks warm. A blanket pinned with a brooch can become a cloak; a piece of cloth can be tied or pinned to create a hood wrap or head scarf. A cloak can also be used to hide bulky layers and a more modern coat. A standard long dress coat might pass for medieval if you top it with a draped shawl that adds a medieval flair while hiding a modern collar and buttons. Wigs are warm and function as hats. Fur and wool are authentic medieval materials but modern fleece can be used to simulate the look of wool. Be creative, but be warm!
