I find myself with two weeks off in the middle of nursing school. Thus, only lack of funds prevents me from attending.

Have you checked Valentine's specials page? He often has a lot of sword furniture on there. Maybe he has something that would work for you..

Is it just me, or do these arguments usually break down along "persona period" lines? While I haven't gone back to review every post, I do come away with the impression that it's usually "early-period" types who argue loudest about "being inclusive" and not turning away...

Thank ya kindly, Adam; I treasure that compliment coming as it does from someone with a kit as nice as yours. It's a real chore just to keep my suit's dull finish free of rust as it is. I'm happy with how it's held up over the years.

I've really only had two kits in my nigh-on two decades in the SCA. I've owned and worn full plate since I was 16 years old. Let's see if I can compete with Murdock in volume of photos... This was my first kit, in the mid-to-late '90s--the well-known 'knight on the toilet' suit: http://www.stormpage...

I think you should have them covered in velvet and adorned with lots of brass rivets, like those of Greyson Brown. Maybe add a few extra brass enhancements, too...

I believe there is more than one front-opening mail shirt in Churburg. Additionally, there is one (CH S4) that appears to fasten with the front flaps deeply overlapping, almost in a 'double-breasted' fashion.

Plenty of 14th/15th century mail haubergeons are split down the entire front of the garment and fasten with ties. I think it would be fine for you to do that with your mail shirt.

Josh, I would assume the solid cuirass is the way to go, since it replaced the CoP. Why phase it out if it worked just dandy? The problem is many of us just can't swing the price tag on a really custom fitted cuirass. And some of us are trying to fit into smaller ones...lol Christopher While I conc...

Re: Best body armour?

I am all about the breast and back plate. If it is made right, really good flex, and ultimate protection. I didn't expect to find myself in agreement with Phelan but he's totally correct here. There is no torso defense better than a perfectly-fitted solid steel plate cuirass. I suspect that most pe...
