No Prob, If lames need removed they are too big for you, I think your doing the right thing, better to sell em and get a set that fits.

Hi, Ill get exact measurements and pics tonight. I just said XXL because its big on me at six foot and 250 lbs. Strrapping is extra, but its worth it because its 14oz straps and very sturdy as you suspected.

Hi, I always forget which one I like theres so many words for these items. The jupon in the first link looks like a normal gambeson to me, which would be fine. The second link is an old drawing and I cant tell what hes wearing, looks like a COP or Brig to me. Im looking for any garment to wear under...

Pitbull Armory

The borders look nice Frank, It would be nice to have one of those rollers for that but they are super expensive last I looked. And you cant argue with the price on the belt. One tip I would offer you, is to make the belt that the buckle is attached to shorter, it locks the main body of the belt tog...

Hi Tally, Id guess they weigh 2-3 lbs apiece, Made of 16g mild, I think they look like 15th or 16th century style armor but someone else here can get you a closer guess I bet.

Kool thanks for the links and info guys, In the second pic of that suit it looks like there is just lames connected to the rebraces with no shoulder cop visible. Do you think its a segmented, integrated spaulder>?

Thanks again for your insights

Hi and thanks KtR, Buster, I have to agree with you on that effigy . The legs look very similar to it for sure. I was going to keep these legs and I would like to put together this whole suit. I have a Bascinet, Rondel Soupcan Couters, Spaulders, and a set of cased greaves to go with them already. I...

HJALMR TOO

Pitbull Armory

Ty Mj I dyed the cuisses black a few times with leather dye, Ty Ernst, I changed the thread title thanks to your info. They are canvas covered Plastic cuisses. What would the construction have been on originals? What part of the 14th did they start using shell articulations (about) ? Ty for the help...

Pitbull Armory

Hi, I just finished putting these legs together from separate parts I had laying around and altered, I wanted the metal ends on the ties of the armor and found these on ebay, 24 of them for 8 dollars. They have holes for sewing them to the cords, which I still need to do. http://www.ebay.com/itm/310...

Hi there, great idea for a thread, I used to have one of Ottos Barrel Helms, I think they are super nice for the money he charges for them, Ironmongers are good too, and Accdntprone mades affordable solid spangens.
