Rapier Practice armour/garb

I have made some 'easy to put on' rapier garb (that can go over jeans or a skirt) for practice, as it is inconvenient to put all my layers on for a quick fight...

My full rapier garb: hose, drawers, camicia, sottana (dress), partlet, gloves..

Not so easy for impromptu practice..

I have made a jacket based on the embroidered Elizabethan jackets. I based the pattern on those in Tudor Tailor.

The buttons were pewter replicas I purchased from Steve Millington Pewter, a few years ago.

I finally have a new rapier mask, and got to use some printed cotton, I have had in store for about 5 years, for the rapier coif.
