@insidenova The story we used to tell to spectators was:The wool allows the breeze to meet the skin as it is a breathable fabric.The hotter it gets, the more you sweat, the more the wind blows, the cooler you get.If it gets up to 125 degrees, reenactors would freeze to death!!!

@hollywoodwerewolf It was pretty hot. Temperatures hovered around 100 degrees, and the heat index made it feel like 115 degrees. There was a slight breeze at times, though. Re-enactors told us that they beat the heat by drinking lots of water. One said that their wool uniforms act as a cooling device when they get wet from sweat, due to it evaporating.
