I actually have to make or purchase them from people in the group. They're on Etsy, too, if you look. As far as how you do it... you research, really, and you learn. I've been learning thrown weapons (currently working on axes), fencing, crafting of various types (soap, dyes, chain maille, etc.) and learning the history.
In addition to that there are events. Like ren fairs. Large wars, small scale skirmishes, feasts, dances, craft events... There are a whole lot of activities you can be part of.
