I think ye question be a fair one. I have fun and try to be period at the same time. Me thinks if ye have all the right garb and it all looks to be from the same period then tha's great! I don't look kindly on the snobs that are lookin' to put people down because their fabric isn't 100% natural fiber. If your settin' a standard fine, follow it, but I be workin' in fabric for a long time and unless you be makin' it yerself, spinin' an all, ye be bowin' to the modern productions of the times.
