What fabric is everything?

Urdok

35 for cbelt

Urdok

Just how adjustable is the C-Belt?

Urdok

15 for the Cbelt

Urdok

Are those measurements including arming clothes or not?

Urdok

Are these stainless?

Urdok

If the dibs fall through, dibs on the convex ones.

Urdok

I will take the size 12 shoes.

Urdok

Are these ready to be strapped or would we have to drill our own holes?

Urdok

You haven't sent me measurements. I'm looking for the measurements on the gauntlets, unless they fit you really well and you want to trace and scan a picture of your hand.

Urdok

Actually, can you do take a measurement across the palm and from the tip of the fingers to the heel of the hand for me?

Urdok

Interested. Can I call temporary dibs until I check up on the measurement's of Ice's Gauntlets?

Urdok

I would love to, but Grettr's stuff is so far out of my price range it's not even worth looking at. I can probably swing $400 tops. I'm about 2 years away from being geared for ACL in a best case scenario, so if what I buy gets me back on the SCA field, that's worth it for me.

Urdok

An accident on Tuesday convinced me that it is time to retire my old leather gauntlets. I've seen Age of Craft and Sharukhan Market mentioned on Facebook and ACL/BotN discussions quite frequently. I was wondering if anyone had dealt with them or seen their work in person. Specifically, I'm looking f...

I think I.33 is not a great place to start for heavy fighting. I.33 is very focused on protecting the sword hand, which is not an issue in SCA heavy. For heavy, you don't need to worry about keeping your weapon hand covered, so that opens up two independent avenues for defense. Paradoxes of defense ...

I was at this event, I fought late Saturday and I wanted to thank the guys who loaned me the gear and weapons I needed to give ACL a shot. I had a great time, and I hope that I can get the money together to do the kit upgrades I'd need to pursue this sport. It really was a dream come true to fight f...

I'm very interested about any practices that are happening in the Philly/Jersey area. I might be able to make it down to the MD area, but I wouldn't be able to do that regularly.

Urdok

I would love to- I just don't have the C&T auth or a blade for it.

Urdok

I'm in the same position as Vlad. I'm not authorized (have rapier auth), but I'd love to observe or participate if someone can loan me a blade.

Urdok

Ill put tentative dibs. I need to talk to my fiance, but I think 130 is doable.

Urdok

What's the flex like on the blade?

Urdok

I'll put a second dibs on the helmet pending size details. If you're interested in splitting up the kydex, I'll take the gauntlets and the Zen Warrior Gorget, also pending size.

Urdok

I ordered their etched splinted arms and greaves (with elbows and knees) and am overall very happy with them. They are comfortable, look great, and protective. My one complaint is the leather used for the strapping is to soft and I am breaking them pretty quick. Based upon the quality of the gear I...

I was thinking about ordering a rapier from Alchem Armoury, but about a month ago I saw some negative posts here about their customer service. However, some people I know from my local practice have had acceptable experiences with them. I'm looking for people who have dealt with them in the last yea...

Urdok

I'll go 20+shipping on the gloves. I haven't seen leather hockey gloves, and I think those are kinda neat.

Urdok

size and cost on the gloves?

Urdok

Hi all. I'm looking for scraps of riveted maile. The size and shape of the rings aren't particularly important. I need it for an experiment, so it needs to be big enough to shoot arrows at from close range.

Urdok

I can't speak to excessive force, because I fence with people who have their Big Boy and Girl pants on when they suit up and recognize they're playing a martial sport which involves getting hit with a freakin' sword (it's in Central New Jersey; you talkin' ta me?); I regularly go home with bruises....

How often do you integrate this into your workout? Daily? Every other day?

Urdok

What are you looking for in terms of armor? Something that can fit under a tunic? Are you looking for historical or fantasy?

Urdok

I pick up a 50 inch axe on a market day for 10.00 and got to fight with it once. It way the most fun I’ve had since I started in November. It has blade and spike at one end and another spike on the other. I haven’t learned a lot yet but have been told that keeping the shaft at a 45deg angel will he...

Urdok

Many would rather handle real steel, which rapier offers (we haven't had "wires" in years). It seems REAL to them. I actually heard it worded that way,..."The stick fighters are cool, don't get me wrong, but that doesn't say medieval to me. That fencing stuff, though, that looks real. Where do you ...

Urdok

Got my item! Thank you!

Urdok

My lord, I'm confused. Are these Mandrake Tips: http://store.fastcommerce.com/icefalcon ... 3f5-p.html

Urdok

Any word on whether they will be legal for Pennsic? I'm contemplating doing the conversion tomorrow at SRWC, but I want to make sure they'll be usable outside of the east.
