I wished I would have overlapped more.... Davi d'Orleans (KSCA) I'm glad I'm not the only one that had this problem. My overlapped areas actually were so short, they shrank exposing the shield edging underneath. I had to re-soak the screwed up part (with the shield) in a large dish pan to remove it...

I changed out the bottom section of hair with a longer wig. As you can see, it is having a little of a "bad hair day". But, its over all effect is pretty good.

I've been told to try using some conditioner on it. After all, it works on human hair.

http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=63891&hilit=tugh I went to a second hand store and purchased a couple of wigs of various styles, and colors. When you tear apart the wig, you will find that the wig hair doesn't come out loose like dog hair. The wig hair will actually come ...

I love the thumb smash.

I used to run 2-3 miles daily, 50 push-ups, 70 situps, lift weights and such,... (retired Army). The only thing I noticed was I used more of my core muscles. I don't know if the fighting style of fighting with a round shield is the cause of it. However, I still got pounded into the ground by 300 pou...

Orc,

How about pics with the coat open, so I can see how it is cut? :)

I run as a Seljuk, and like to get a closer look at the coat.

Thanks,

I can't find this shirt design. Do you have an item # on it?

They have these styles: http://www.mcdavidusa.com/store/index.a ... ENT_ID=729

Perhaps, you can pick a style and email them how to adjust the design to your needs.

Send Mike the email. In the whole of the SCA, you're probably not alone.

I got mine from Red Falcon Armoury. I don't know what their sales are like today, but this gorget fit perfectly. I have a 14 inch neck.

How is this guy still taking orders? He has $90 of mine without coming through with my order from Dec 2003.

This is what I got with 7 yards. Having the leather crest underneath helped the fabric "stick". I think a longer run would have looked nicer.

And no,...I haven't fought with it on. I use a shorter piece of the same fabric and simply tie it to the outside of the helm.

If only I could have gone as your luggage,... sigh.

Or, to be like these kids,....

Another set of three Tughs, but, they among pictures from a school trip to a museum.

I fight in a set from House of the Wolf. I love them. I've never had a problem with my elbow sticking out, or protection against a shot. Gone are the days of the circulation being cut off at my elbow bend, bruises on my wrist and hand because of the weight of my arm armour, or the sliding down of my...

I don't know what's available in your area,... But, in San Antonio, we have this guy: http://www.davethebarrelman.net/ I've bought barrels from him. He wasn't cheap, but, I did think I got a fair price for the two I bought and I got them when I wanted them without really looking, or calling around. ...

I know what doesn't work,... I sprayed my aluminum shield with 3M adhesive spray and pretty much glued my trigger/canvas to it.

And a little more than halfway down on this page is the same item, but in the closed position. The photos show the metal work and hinges better.
