Here is a link to the web site of the Compagnie de Saint Martin, a french early 15th century company in the North of France. They are very good friends, could you give me your impressions ?

The main comment I would make is that from the pictures on your site, I do not get the impression of people from the time of Jean sans Peur (John the Fearless?). The soldiers in the jacks and kettle hats with the soldier in the bascinet and maille look too early (or at least behind the fashion), and nearly all the women seem to be in clothing I see as too late (1450's-70's). The men's civilian clothing is about the right date for Jean's reign.

So in general, I get the impression from your photos that you are doing a very wide time span of 1360 to 1460. If you aim to be specific to Jean's reign, it is not clear from your clothing, armour and accouterments.

Of course I don't read French, so there may be some text in your site which explains this. I may have missed it.
