What is Garb? Garb is defined by the Book of War as “the clothing to be worn by
all participants of Belegarth.”
Minimum garb is defined by the BoW as

Garb is Not: T-shirts that are brightly colored, white, with visible logos,
with visible collars, and or visible pockets. Camouflage or military issued cargo pants. Modern jeans of any color. Modern hats. (Cowboy Hats, Baseball Caps, Cabby Hats,
Fedoras) Any fabrics with modern prints. (To some degree) Something to make us look stupid Something that is hard to do Something that has to cost you your first born child Something that is uncomfortable Something that makes you feel itchy

Why do we need Garb?
In order for Belegarth to maintain a certain level of believability we need to wear garb. We are Belegarth MEDIEVAL Combat and garb helps us to look and feel more Medieval than jeans and a tee-shirt do.
Garb is not something people made up to make you look stupid, or feel stupid. Good garb is just as or more comfortable than your mundane clothing. We are here to work with you to find a garb style that fits the medieval and high fantasy feel of the game and is comfortable for you.

Basic Garb is:
Basic garb is one step up from Minimum Garb.
It is a simple tunic with pants or a dress
It can be bought or made
It is easy to learn to do
It works with your persona if you are in to Role Play aspect of the game

Basic “Male” Garb Basic “Male” garb can be
A simple t-tunic A pair of nurses pants with side pockets removed
(Neutral coloured) Marshal Arts Pants A pair of shoes or boots of muted colour (black,
grey, brown) A kilt or war skirt Simple Baggy Drawstring pants
As a note this is not strictly male garb, ladies are free to dress HOWEVER they want…they don’t HAVE to wear only dresses or skirts in Belegarth.

Basic Female Garb• Basic Female Garb is:
– Peasant Skirt– Wrap Skirt– T-Tunic Dress– Simple Chemise Top– T-Tunics– Baggy Pants – Footwear that is muted in colour
Female fighting garb is more or less the same as male garb, ladies can and sometimes do wear skirts to fight in, these skirts are normally modified( silts cut or gores added) to allow for better movement

Basic Monster Garb I am NOT a Monster each race has different things that make them who they are
this is just an overview of what I have learned about monster garb
Pants are still baggy, often tattered with patches
Patches are common place, as is bad sewing, seams on the outside kind of thing
If you’re a Goblyn you want to have you elbow and knees covered
If you’re a hat troll you need a hat troll hat and coat
Ogre’s arms and sometimes torso are bare
Mech Goblyns are often found wearing goggles
Bugbears wear an arm covering over the arm their God Blessed
War braids are common in monsterdom
Body Paint (each race are different coloured)
Skirts are also often tattered, and multi-coloured
Layers are common
SHINY IS IMPORTANT!!!!!

“Found” Garb
Found Garb is something more or less Goodwill or Thrift store garb
It is things that can pass as garb but are actually modern/mundane pieces like simple peasant tops with embroidery on them, peasant skirts, and nurses pants
The Goodwill Tunic is part of what I consider “Found” Garb
![Page 13: Garb 101: Basic Garb For All](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081401/55854c6ed8b42ae15d8b501b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Goodwill Tunic
The Goodwill Tunic is a polo shirt, long or short sleeved, that has been turned into garb
It has had all its hems removed (sleeve and bottom)
It has had its collar and buttons removed
Put holes into the shirt where the buttons were and lace cord through them
You have a tunic that passes, its not amazing but it passes

Resources
The SCA is a great resource, find your local SCA group and talk to them about Arts and Sciences Nights. There will often be someone will to help teach you how to make garb
Simplicity Easy to Sew Pattern Line has many easy to sew pajama pant patterns that work well for pants
Ask around the Belegarth Boards on the Medieval Arts and Sciences Board, someone will answer you
