I haven't done Ruanna personally, but I've seen it used successfully in that manner. A blanket cloak can work as well, since it can be pinned around a quiver.

yep i found that it didnt cause a problem, i had 2 corners pinned together going over one shoulder, the rest was scooped under otehr shoulder, and then belted, so it looked quite kilt like

apparently this is a renactorism and there wasnt any eveidence of this being worn histprically, but its so simple i cants ee why, and it gave no problem whatsoever with quiver being worn on back, but then i had a short quiver ( but then so does aragorn in LOTR films)

The jupons look a little impractical for warfare, although if that's the way they did it...
Can anyone find an instance of shoulder quivers used in the middle ages?
