I gave him my specs and he came through. One of the more interesting specs came from my lovely wife, who stated that if i was going to get a new helm, it had to have a Fleur-de-lis incorporated in it.

Beards are for lazy people. I beg to differ, i spend way more time keeping my beard groomed than i had spent keeping a clean shaven face(was in the AF for 6 years was bald all over then :*( ), I brush it a few times a day and not to mention the conditioner and shampoo. Oh and im forced to eat all "...

I got my turnshoes today. Thanks! I will wear them for a week or so and see how they fit over time. My feet are slightly wider that average, so it will take a little shoe training. Thinking about it, I should also have had vibram soles added upon ordering, but for some reason I didn't think of it. ...

Good Evening All, One of our SCA Members in Insulae Draconis found this posting for, what is quite obviously a full SCA Heavy kit.
