Conventional usage of the word '''bliaut''' in the [[SCA]] refers to a garment known from the [[12th century]] (actually possibly dating back to about 1060, and forwards to about 1210 in remote areas). This [[clothing|garment]] differs from the [[t-tunic]] that precedes and accompanies it in several ways. It appears to have been a [[court]] garment, ie. used on special occasions by those who could afford special garments used on days when not doing any physical labour.

Goose

61.145.97.234:

A '''goose''' is a two-legged winged [[animal]] that is a member of the water fowl species. It makes a '' 'honk' '' sound rather than a '' 'quack' '' (like a [[duck]]).

These birds are also bigger and more aggressive than ducks. For that reason, they sometimes work well as [[guard]]s. Goose [[feather]]s make good [[quill]]s and were often used as [[feather|fletching]].

It should be noted that goose [[feather]]s acquired from a commercial supplier seem to have been treated to remove the natural oils in the feather and tend to come apart more readily.
