I'm returning to armored combat after a 5-8 year hiatus. All of my leather gear has died. So I'm looking to buy a linothorax, bazubands, shovel greaves, and gorget. I've already been directed to Tradewinds of the Levanent but wanted to see if there wre other merchants out there.

Re: Armourer Help needed in Madison, WI
I happen to be the marshal in Jaravellir atm. Nothing really wrong with the helm in question. It was worn by one of our local fighters as his primary hat for quite a while with no issues at all. It turns out the the fighter in question got a very light concussion. This also never occurred while it ...

Dan,
I remember those points. But yes the find from Patras is what I'm interested in at the moment. I was looking for what info was available from that dig/ find and whether it had been published or not.

I believe that may be the recent dig that I'm looking for. The original link listed here by Matthew appears to be dead, the one where he's converted. Do you know where I can find the page that the original RAT thread pointed to.

Oswyn,
Thanks for the catch. I hadn't noticed the error, I've had alot on the mind. The 14thC set should be $160 & $340 respectively. Also as a set they come pre-riveted into the leather strips.I'll correct the top post as well.
