We adhere to the rules of the SCA when it comes to armor standards and those of the Midrealm. This page does not deviate from those standards but only adds ideas for flourish and style to your over all kit. 

Armor Code

1. Surcoats, Robes, overtunics:
SCA Knights / Masters: White robe, overtunic or surcoat. Red cross formee center chest>

All non-belted soldiers shall be considered Serjants of the temple. They shall wear black or dark brown robe, tunic or surcoat, a red cross center chest and back per the Rule.

Optional: Turcopole: Christianized Seljuk and or Eastern Orthodox Crusader state soldiers. Turcopoles were more lightly-armored than knights and were armed with lances and bows to help combat the more mobile Muslim forces. We welcome any that have a desire to play at Pennsic at the Crusader Battle.


2. Shields:
Your choice of design for the war shield. Black over White.
Red cross formee, center if able.


3. Weapons:
Good working order prior to events. Make back up weapons if affordable or handy to ensure your readiness to fight.

4. Armor:
preferred hidden, sport type or period crusader or dark age armor. But in reality, whatever you can afford to buy, make or borrow. time period in the end doesn't really matter as much as you getting in armor and fighting out on the field.
A period helm is preferred. Round top, spangen, norman, kettle, faceplated pregreathelm etc. if not please attempt to hide or alter the cosmetics of later period helms with drapings.

5. Don'ts

Don't show off metal elbows or knee cops. Keep gauntlets dark to not attract attention. Keep the colors and cross consistent. Consider a period shield.  Greaves allowed if semi period-ish. Keep it cheap and simple and get out there to enjoy the fun!!!
