Someone snubbed you for not wearing Sons of Sandlar boots (I'm assuming that's what you 'weren't wearing' because they're about that much per pair and pretty popular with people)? Wow... The last ren faire I was doing blacksmithing at I was wearing a pair of combat boots and no one said shit to me...probably because I was always within arm's reach of a hammer and red hot piece of metal...and a table of sharp, sharp knives and such.

That would be them. Initially it wasn't a big deal. Most of the Ren-Heads were like "Oh, he's new." But as I got more involved in the scene I was expected to acquire more "authentic" and elaborate clothing and accessories. It went from more of an emphasis on partying and the social aspect of the event to
The Tudors. If you didn't have a certain type of boots, pouches, mug, jewelery or pipe, you'd get snubbed by the sub-culture's zealots at bars and tents.
The snub occurred while sitting watching the mud show at Scarborough by a relatively older woman and her husband wearing about $5,000 worth of get-up between the two of them. Never went to another ren faire again.
