Showing up and trying the sport out is more important than what you're wearing. If you're new to the sport, feel free to show up in jeans and a t-shirt.
Brand new fighters do not need to worry about showing up in garb for a few months. However, at our local demo's we require garb. All National events have garb minimums. And we do strongly encourage that long term fighters wear garb to practice.
These are the Dagorhir garb minimums;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.3. A costume that meets or preferably exceeds minimum Dagorhir requirements which are:
1.3.1. A tunic of crotch length or longer. This requirement may be waived only if the rest of the costume (pants, boots, etc.) is of exceptional quality and appearance.
1.3.2. Medieval-style (baggy) pants, kilt, skirt, etc.
1.3.3. Medieval-style footwear (moccasins, boots that are not blatantly non-medieval in style, earth-tone shoes with leggings, etc.).
1.4. Forbidden Items
1.4.1 Blue jeans, white shoes, camouflage patterns such as military fatigues, exposed T-shirts, modern hats, real swords or knives (even in sheaths or cases, worn or carried) during combat or fighting. This list is not exhaustive.
1.4.2. Weapons, shields, garb, and armor may not have clearly mundane logos or prints, nor may be made with fluorescent/neon colors.

My Mother can sew you custom garb, to your measurements for $10 an hour. That's a great deal. She's an excellent seamstress, years of experience. She used to sew my clothes when I was a kid ! I highly recommend her work. Let me know if you're interested.
