When traveling to some Roman events I put on already at home my long brown
tunica in order to have less pieces in my luggage and when on the train or on a car I wear it together with my regular jeans jacket so it makes me look more like a Greenie than a reenactor
My gladiator clothes come in handy, too: Last summer I went with a couple of friends to a Medieval festival where there was a lake right at the venue site, so I put my feet in the lake (I hate swimming) and was sunbathing afterwards and for that I was wearing the
strophium (breastband) and
subligaculum (loincloth) which made me feel more dressed than just wearing a bikini.
Here in Hamburg we have a hard n' heavy club which plays once per month this "Medieval" rock like Corvus Corax, Subway to Sally, Saltatio Mortis etc. which is very popular in Germany. Many medieval reenactors, LARPies and Gothics go to this party. The first time I went there I thought it was so unbearably hot wearing a regular T-shirt and a pair of jeans that I was saying more as a joke to a friend of mine "next time I'm gonna put on my gladiator kit". So he took my word and I had to go there in
subligaculum,
strophium and
pectorale (breastplate). I was leaving my greave, helmet and sword at home, of course. Nobody really took notice of me due to the fact many weird people hanging around there, except for this one girl who liked my
pectorale asking me if that is expensive (which I could confirm, of course).
