====Facing====

This is where an additional reinforcing strip of cloth is sewn onto an edge of a piece of clothing around the neck hole and cuffs. The strip is usually of the same material on shirts but can be of a contrasting colour on tunics. Facings can only be up to 8cm (3”) wide before 1042AD. After this wider facings may be used.

For men, facings around the hem of the tunic are classed as Unacceptable before 1042AD. As for women, they are considered Optional after 1042AD.

Members portraying Carolingian or Frisian women or men have the option of having a facing around their hem before 1042AD as it appears that faced hems were originally a mainland European fashion.

====Hem stitch====

The two most simple hem stiches are the hem stich and running stich. Hems should always be turned in towards the body. The hem stitch is largely invisible from the outside of the garment and so modern cotton thread can be used. The running stich is more visible and so an authentic linen or fine woollen thread needs to be used.

====French seam====

French seams are achieved by first sewing a seam, on what will be the outside of the garment, and then turning the garment inside out and sewing another seam to cover the first.

====Piled wool / Rogg====

Also known as a woollen shaggy piled cloak or rug and similar to a modern flokati. A woollen cloth with tuffs of unspun wool either pulled or woven through it.

====Weaves====

Plain tabby and twill weaves are the most common cloth in Regia’s period. Other optional weaves are broken diamond and herringbone.
