Heard back from Ringmesh directly. According to your measurements, a X-Large should fit, but because of your biceps dimensions, and the mobility for SCA combat, the XX-Large would be your safer bet. If anything, it will just hang a little longer. You can find a full line on our website. Please allow...

Pics please? Interested

Thank you for pics Armourer Eric. Not quite what I thought it might be so pass to Woodstock

PatternWeld

Still looking!

I guess the short sleeve tunic in XXL is what I'd need. Anyone have a used one they want to part with before I order new?

PatternWeld

Make one of these from dyed/painted water hardened leather. Heck you could even hot water, block it then dry it, dye it then dip it in floor wax. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/brig/GEDC0326.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/clueX4_graphics/brig/GEDC0328.jpg I've...

Insensitive comment deleted.

I wouldn't want to be in either of those guys shoes, as receiver or deliverer.

PatternWeld

Rule of thumb.... others may disagree/agree

(Materials cost x 2) + (# of hours to make x what you'd like to make per hour) + (20% of total for shop overhead)

Compare that to what others charge and adjust accordingly.

PatternWeld

You are going to make me dip into my emergency fund......

How much for a finished set?

PatternWeld

In case folks don't know.... Somedudeinutah is a very talented armourer. I own several pieces of armour made by him and find the lines appealing, the shapes proportional & appropriate, the workmanship is flawless and the finish is wonderful. Every transaction I have done with him has been smooth wit...

PatternWeld

LOL Tuomas beat me to the link up....

If I wanted a Greek helmet I'd jump on that. Made by Gunther of Orkney heavy guage stainless with locking cheeks.

PatternWeld

Interesting take on the Varangian on the bottom.... I think I like your center band a little better than Jackie's.

I think I prefer the face shape his retains with the hinged & shaped shovel guard his has under the maille.

Lovin the clean lines and finish on your work as always.

PatternWeld

I meant when Jackie gets around to working on my pre-paid helmet project again.

Its a custom project and a big part of the "Before I send you $ discussion" involved regular communication and progress pictures.

PatternWeld

Thanks guys. I actually lifted that pic from Sir Yaroslav's FB so I am sure he has it. I know one of his squires (who doesn't? its a cast of thousands lol! <- Joke not meant to offend Sir Yaroslav or any of the aforementioned squires). So, if for some reason, you have a desire for this helm please s...

I plan to fight in it so its... Me + Arming cotte (Westland/Revival/Icefalcon style) + Maille + Globose and I need to have free movement. I may go to a short sleeve XXL if they fit looser but right now I am wondering if their sizing is whack.... Edit: Adding a link up to LDWalter12's for sale thread...

PatternWeld

The one LDWalter has looks like it wont fit me. I'm going to have to sort out some sizing issues His is an XXL but its tight under the armpits on his 50" chest. Though LDWalter is taller & more muscular than I am, I have the same chest measurement. Problem is the XL size should fit a 50" by their gu...

PatternWeld

Carl,

Welcome & well met.

I have a request. Make Jackie stop every once in a while and take pictures!

Also does this mean I can talk to you guys about the other, non-helmet projects or should I wait untill the cue dies down a bit?

PatternWeld

$25 on the cuisses

PatternWeld

Still waiting to hear from LDWalter12.... probably an event weekend or Gulf Wars?

BTW a Haubergeon is just fine too.

PatternWeld

What brig you plan to make would be a good start towards helping you. Will it be a Wisby Coat of Plates or a later period brig? how many plates? Have you been able to determine if the sign aluminum you have is soft or hard... or a mix? Does it cut easy but "gummy"? or does it eat cheap saw blades fo...

PatternWeld

BTW thanks for the linkage & the bump! Hal - it isn't a thing that needs to be "fixed" people fought in these for years just fine. The bottom part of the helm is about an inch to a inch and a half shorter than more modern reproductions. It clears the jawline and occipital just fine but you do have t...

PatternWeld

Recieved mine today!

In case anyone was wondering 5/5 for great communication, exactly as described, fast shipping with a price that I am sure doesn't cover having to wait in line at the Post Office to get the flat rate boxes.

Thank you. I have a date with a hot forge & a stick welder....

Guys unless the canvas is mildewed and ripped this is pretty much on lock. I just have about 640 miles of road time to do, starting this friday.

I like driving but adding a San Diego 6 hour turn around on the tail end of that is just a lil much.

If you are particularly long in torso, I'd add more plates up to 2 rows on the top. This...

-Matthew- Thank you.

I contacted Pelagon via PM and have put a deposit down on the tent while I sort my schedule for enough time to drive down to SD to set it up once and inspect it.

I need to make clear... This IS NOT his (Sir Yaroslav's) helmet... its just the same manufacture.

Thank you though for spreading the word.

PatternWeld

Thank you. I've been contacted by a couple folks, who have a buddy, who may want it.

Nothing firmed up yet though.

PatternWeld

Made by someone who knows fighting. It was custom made for me by D.Lancaster. Pelagon Is that why they pulled his belt, kicked him out and won't let him play again? ^ Now that's an example of snarky LOL. Seriously nice helm, it should sell quickly at that price. In fact, if it fit me, I'd buy it de...

PatternWeld

Anyone have one of these used, in size XL, that they wish to part with?

Figured I'd check here before ordering a new one.

If you are wondering if your leggs are fitting/being supported correctly....

Go for a jog while wearing it. That will tell you everything you need to know.
