Yellow Jacket with "Skort" and Rainbow Scarf
Despite their similar acts of bravery, Marian and Robin can't seem to see eye to eye...
Marian's smart yellow jacket is one of my favorite pieces and would work quite well in a modern wardrobe. It seems to be constructed from some sort of hide/leather, or at least something that looks similar. The jacket has princess seams along the front and back of the bodice, running all the way up to the shoulder, which appears to be all one piece (there is no shoulder seam). The sleeves are in two pieces, with the bottom half coming up like an inverted "V", and ending at the elbow. All the seams on this piece feature large decorative stiches with a lacing that appears to be made from the same fabric as the jacket - the "V" neckline is likewise piped with the same material. The jacket overlaps across the front, comes to a point and fastens with an oversized brown wooden button.
The bottom of this ensemble appears to be a type of "skort". Loose, gaucho-like pants have an overlapping panel at the front that makes it appear as a split skirt from the front. It's hard to see it in the images, but it looks like there were either two different tan skirts or the method of closure/lacing was changed later on in the series. Marian's ensemble is finished off with a raw silk scarf in shades of red and yellow.

"Camo" Jumper and Hooded Underdress
Marian continues her heroic deeds and begins to see that Robin "just wants to be loved"...
The jumper is constructed from a light "camo" print (could be a cotton fabric) and edged with a brown and white "scalloped" trim. The jumper is mid-calf length, splits up the side (to the hip) and front (to the waist) and has princess seams. It is hard to see just how it closes in the front; whether it laces or hooks inside, the closure seems pretty invisible. The underdress is another one of those heavy stretchy knits, in different shades of blue. It has a hood, which is never worn and hangs in the back. The sleeves come down over the wrists and the dress is ankle-length.

"Night Watchman" Ensemble
Intent on working against the rich and giving to the poor peaceably, Marian becomes "The Night Watchman"...
This ensemble consists of a dark leather top, which crosses over and buttons up the left front. The pants are made from a heavy "camo" fabric and have leather pieces on the inside legs for riding (don't know the right term for that style - I wasn't into horses! ;). The cape is floor length and is a green/tan color. It has a very full hood, piped in more brown leather which continues around the neckline and down the front edges. The cloak ties at the neck and is worn with dark green fabric over the lower half of the face and a brown leather mask over the top half, which is accented by a subtle raised design. The ensembled is completed with brown hide boots with silver buckles, fingerless leather gloves and whatever weapon the "Watchman" happens to be carrying - be it bow, staff or sword...
