| Ideas for the Entire Company: 3.0 Rules for garb and items for the entire company |
| .01 Shoes Sandals and non period boots may be used until the individual is able to make or buy a pair of period shoes. See: Revival Shoes |
| .02 Belt A narrow belt with correct medieval buckle. Black for Company Members, Red for Squires, white for Knights [KSCA]. Company Belts will be issued once hardware is cast. |
| .03 Garters: Same rule for colors as Belt. Leg wraps for earlier periods. |
| .04 Purse It is encouraged each member own a small purse for essentials of period use and modern $$ and ID. |
| .05 Knife A knife is essential to each member. If a dagger is owned, forego the knife. We make knives in the shop constantly. |
| .06 Eating utensils Spoon, cup bowl and/or plate, preferably wood, and hand made in the shop. Also a small canvas or leather haversack to carry them in with your marching rations. |
| .07 Cloak Linen is okay but woolen is more preferred for period use. Even during Summer nights, a chill air can appear. |
| .08 Livery jackets and/or Surcoats a The jacket or surcoat shall be in period style to the rest of your kit especially your armor. The use of wool or linen is encouraged though for SCA use, poplin or heavy denim/cotton for the wear and tear they will take in battle. The surcoats will be black throughout with the Company device/badge center chest. Fighters: No other badges or patches will be allowed on your surcoats except the Midrealm badge and the Pentemerian Regional badge. b Standard company parade dress is the split black and gold tunic, dress or surcoat. Gold dexter, black sinister. The typical piece is made from black linen and white linen [which is dyed using RIT dye: 2 golden yellows & 1 tan]. The gold carries over from the front to the back [see here]. Mod:05/16/04 The full emblem center chest is only worn on battle garb. Badges will be issued to be sewn on the left breast or left sleeve as preferred per the piece you opt to wear. Company trim will be issued prior to Pennsic of 2004 to be sewn on this parade garment or your battle surcoat. It will is much like this:

| .09 Badges & Pins a Company badges are to be worn by full members only! The badge is a red cross formee trimmed gold with a rampant white wolf dexter brandishing a sword in each hand center. (badge)
b Personal devices: Worked into your tourney shield only, not war shields. Allowed as a pin or belt shield or incorporated into a garbs theme per your period. Debating other options still. Mod:05/16/04 c Please keep pins down to a minimum. 1-3 is more than enough for any individual. Company, Kingdom, and/or love-interest. SCA awards should be maintained on a chain to wear at courts if so desired. Mod:05/16/04 d Company trim is being looked into for dressier garb along with sleeve motto. e Company belts are still in the works. See: 3.02

| .10 Colors As is possible, please try to make clothing from muted colors: black, brown, dull red, mustards and red browns. Black is the Company color. |
