Ren fair season

My local renaissance fair starts in like two weeks! Im super excited and i plan on dragging some friends with me this year. Unfortunately ill be flat fuckin broke aside from money for tickets, but that means i cant waste it in a bunch of random shit ig.

I cant do it this year, but some year id like to actually dress up properly for the ren fair. Like, get a real scabbard, a nice (non-rusted) sword, period accurate clothes. When i was younger I always wanted to be a knight. Id spend forever at the blacksmith and armory stores with my dad but never bought/was given any since none of it would have fit.

Next year, no blue jeans, maybe the year after some armor pieces? I could probably get a hold of some leather stuff cheaper, and it wouldn't be as hot as plate lmao. I watched LOTR again a few days ago and it would be sick to have Boromir's vambrace with the gondor crest on it. I wonder if i could just make that...
