    Maybe you should ship him one?

    You're right, didn't think of that. Guess it's because if you live in England you're never more than a dozen or so miles away from a decent sized town or city.

    It should be possible to find somewhere online prepared to deliver though, albeit for slightly more money than shop-bought.

    And I would send him a hat if he was prepared to pay for buying and shipping it :P but it would probably be easier and cheaper to go through a store.

    Under those conditions I would also be happy to supply you with your much needed Leaderhosen. I am sure you have English billy goats and chickens a plenty.

    Awww man. Now people who haven't read my post in the dream thread must think one of us is really, really weird. And not even for the right reasons! (I am pretty weird in person)

    To be fair though I do actually know how to get my hands on both goats and chickens.

    Lederhosen would have made an extremly effective military uniform for an army. Can you imagine trying to fight a man dressed like that without giving in to laughter? The enemy force would be so busy laughing they wouldn't have time to notice or counteract your strategy to win the battle.

    Humm

    That could be why the Tyrolean Militias were so feared…could also be why Bavaria managed to keep it independence until it joined with greater Germany as an autonomous region.

    They dressed for success. Which will hopefully be repsresented in game with a couple of fashions researchable in the tech tree.

    Well, Regina isn't too bad of a city! I'm sure I'll find a little theatre shop somewhere...
