    This past Halloween I did a Post apocalyptic costume similar to Mad Max, I used street signs to make scale mail armor along with clothes hanger chain mail and a street sign machete.

    We have been doing it for almost 50 years in the SCA except we put the writing on the inside so  people don’t know we are wearing street signs.
