Time-period hopping?
Hello! I am busily putting together a character and some basic garb, but I have a few questions and would love your feedback.
Background: I have not joined my local barony yet, as we are moving at the end of December and life is chaos. I'm telling myself that this prep is streamlining the process for meeting folks/making friends in the new year!
Alright: how much time-period hopping is acceptable in terms of clothing and crafting? The world is too interesting for me to just pick one decade and locality and stay there forever. I'm also watching some SCA blogs/vlogs, and it seems like many folks will go Viking to one event, 1350s Italy to another, and then pivot to Tudor England. Is this widespread and acceptable? My boyfriend is teasing me about being "another basic Early Tudor girlie," but! The clothes! THE KNITTING! (I love knitting and want to incorporate it into whatever character I design.) But at the same time... Vikings! Early Scotland! Islamic Italy! Ahhh!
Discussion question: how did y'all design your backstories?

Does anyone know what leggings would have been made of?
So I am trying to put together a fencing costume, and I see a bunch of period art where the people are wearing leggings. like here or or here . Does anyone know what these would have been made from? they look form fitting like today's tights or yoga pants but synthetic fabric is a 20th century thing... does anyone know where I can get a pair of historical leggings?
