It's crazy what some of us do for fun ain't it Bryan? I think the most asked question at reenactments by the spectators is "is hot with all that on?" Damn right it's hot. And wet too. Put that shell jacket or frock coat on at sun up and wear it all day and I guarantee no matter how much water you drink you won't hear "nature's call" all day because you sweat it all out. hehehehe. And remember too that any gentleman in the 19th century wasn't considered fully dressed if he didn't have a vest on. Yep........wool too. And just as much fun as the heat is a good cold rain. That wool doesn't dry out real fast. You can see everybody all huddled up to the fires in camp with the bottoms of their boots and shoes steaming from the water they soaked up. I've got an event this weekend. YEEEHAAA. What's the weather forecast? ;-)
