I have to echo what William said! Tosten bought the pre-production pair at Lilies- and He is ectatic! I wear a pair as well which are too big for me- but I padded them well, and honestly, I forget I have gauntlets on! ( Grazie Mille, Johannes & Roderick!) Hopefully Johannes will get enough demand fo...

Tasha, I'd disagree. The period amount of layering of clothing is greater than modern day, with undergarments for the protection of the outer garments. A grand aisette is a well constucted and expensive garment- it would not go next to the skin- it would break down/soil too quickly. Myself, I wear a...

Tasha,

Do you have other pictures of the that pouch, perhaps closeups of the detail/decoration?

also, I think the 2 extra draw string outside pockets are a modern add on. I don't remember seeing period examples with outside draw pockets, but I could be wrong. I disagree. In the Museum of London's Dress Accessories and Leather and Leatherworking in Anglo-Scandinavian and Medieval York (English...

use whey protein I agree! Champion Pro Score 100 is excellent. The "nasty" taste in protein shakes comes from soy protein sources. If you still can't hack the taste, try adding a bit of coffee to chocolate flavor- much tastier! multivitamins hurt way more than they help, Karl, Explain your reasonin...

What is the inside dimensions? They look like they would be good knees for me....

Wow! Very Showy!

How do you dish leather? I've hand-shaped, but was unaware you could use other techniques.

I'm interested in replacing my elbow cops with bazubands because I can't get my cops to stay securely. They aren't going to go with my 14th C kit, but they would be under my gambeson....

Given available time vs money, I really need to purchase.

I appreciate the offer, though.

Anyone else out there make aluminum gauntlets?

I'm giving into the marshalls- Want to buy a small pair of aluminum gauntlets. Full gauntlets, please.

My palms are 3 1/4" wide at widest part, wrist to tallest fingertip 6 1/2".

Tiny. Really.

Roderick, Knowing your time period, I also recommend you see Saint Chappelle in Paris... It is wonderful to see a church at the peak of Gothic extravagance. Saint Chappelle was built for Louis IX, finished in 1248. Everyone sees the Notre Dame, but for medievalists, this is a must see. (Burning with...

Don't miss the Cluny!

The Musee National du Moyen Age/ The Cluny Museum is where the unicorn tapestries reside- and other wonderful medieval artifacts- but no armor.
