 <hr>
 It is the responsibility of the local Group Leader to maintain Regia Anglorum’s high authenticity standards at events under their control. Accordingly, if an Authenticity Team member is not available, that Group Leader should ensure that a suitably experienced and competent member of the Society carries out an Authenticity check in accordance with these regulations. Competence in this instance can be defined as knowledge of the regulations and experience.

 Clothing should be made from either wool or linen.

Colours must be from the spectrum available from natural dyestuffs known in the period.

 Braids are used both for belts and for decorating garments. Good types of braid for Regia’s period are tablet weave and finger braids. Inkle braid is Unacceptable. Braids may be of wool, silk or linen. If wool is used care should be taken to use a fine 2 ply yarn, although 3 ply yarn is still Allowable. Chunky wool must not be used and is classed as Unacceptable.
