Want to get into Landsknecht reenacting? Good! We'd like to help you do that!

First and foremost, don't forget to contact us. 

Unlike many later periods in reenacting, there are few to no vendors that make and sell Landsknecht gear. As a result, it can be a little tedious to find materials and clothing for our time period and locale. 

Does that sound daunting? Don't want to jump all the way in?
Don't worry - the unit has some loaner gear available for use.


•CLOTHING•

Much of our overall clothing is nearly impossible to buy. When you do, it probably won't fit. What to do?

Everyone in the unit makes their own clothing, be it gowns, Wams, kirtles, or Tellerberets with the help of our captain's wife (and Seamstress Extraordinaire). 

Smaller things like shoes and socks can, however, be found online. 

Sock options:


Shoe options:
Boots by Bohemond - Landsknecht Tudor Shoes (Narrow feet approved)

•POUCHES, BELTS, KNICKKNACKS•

 Belts: Belts from Karl Robinson
Pouches:
 (Please choose the appropriate century - 15th-16th) Men's Pouches from Karl Robinson; Women's Pouches from Karl Robinson, 

•COOKING SUPPLIES•

Luckily, cooking supplies through the ages have not changed much. A good horn bowl and a pewter plate will suffice. 

Most members of the unit have their own plate, bowl, cup, and prick/knife set. 

Plates: Pewter plates are the name of the game. You can find appropriate vintage plates at Goodwill and the like.
Bowls: Etsy Horn Bowl, 
Cups:
Prick/knife sets: Tod Cutler


•DAGGERS•

 Tod Cutler's Daggers 
      (Bollocks daggers are Scottish/English, do not buy for your German persona)
