Re: Effigy Image
If the Detroit I of A belongs to the City, you might better hurry... just sayin'. Okay, I am going from nothing here - just that there is some surprise that the date of the armor so carefully depicted is from... what, a hundred years or more before the claimed death. Perhaps I am too cynical, but h...

Re: SCA PSA: Screw tabards; use a surcoat!
Never wore a tabbard never will. I had my surcoat built before I finished my armour. And now after all these years of fighting and repairing it, it's time to make a new one out of wool and lined with linen.

Re: Early Hospitaller Robes in Warfare
For the gauntlets I recommend these. I have a set of them in brown leather and they look like a pair of gloves. Protection is great as well. http://ageofcraft.com/eng/briga.html Edward Edward....do the lames connect down to the haft with these? How much of a shock do you get with strikes to the han...

Re: Knights Hospitaller Surcoat?
Prior to 1286 yes there was a separation between the two. This first started about 1260(prior to that they all wore black with white cross) After the 1286(ish) date they all wore the red/white combo on the field and the back in their civies...The drawing previous shown is a good likeness of their su...

Re: Knights Hospitaller Surcoat?
For the 14th C era the surcoat would have been red/white for all members of the military side of things. Prior to(and I would have to re-look the exact year)1286 only the actual Knights would have worn those colors with the rest wearing the regular Black with a cross on chest. The cloaks and out of ...
