a close friend of mind was in the same position you are not that lon ago. except he made the mistake of buying first and then trying to get his money back. the leather gauntlets he bought from them were not only not sca legal, but definately unsafe for use. the rivets were very poorly installed to t...

or perhaps the customer still wants to appear as a woman from afar?

I think helm prices are inflated because the makers are spending their High-value time doing Low-skill work. For example, any time that Knotwolf spends: buffing, grinding, peening rivets, sewing leather, rough dishing, cutting sheet metal on a beverly, planishing, or anything else that a newb can d...

Heath B fraychef

honestly im not the most well of individual so buying a new helm can really be a huge and sometimes insurmountable issue. that said i still believe most armories dont charge enough for good quality gear. we regularly see people making statements about certain armorere charging too much such as his g...

A lot of folks cant really tell good from the not that good, they see the price of the not that good and don't understand why the good is priced so much higher. i agree 100 % i dont personaly make armor but i definately get tired of people chiding me for the money i spent on my gear and pointing out...

Heath B fraychef

thats funny when i ordered my coat of plates from steel mastery it only took 1 1/2 weeks to get here.

Heath B fraychef

ok i placed an order for 2 pairs of pants and 1 tunic, man sized.

Heath B fraychef

not really.

Heath B fraychef

here are pics of the hood.
the first is from the h/e website so you can see the back and the long liripipe.
the second is the gentleman who sold it to me with the hood on.
its a nice hood so if it i cant trade it i wont be crushed.

Heath B fraychef

well ill throw up a very nice red wool hood from historic enterprises.
in excellent condition just too warm for me considering most events here in caid are in the summertime.
not looking for anything spacific just willing to consider.

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

ok,
ill probably still order them anyway.
do you plan on making tunics with the natural linnen in the future maybe?

Heath B fraychef

if i order black pants and a black tunic will they be made with the same "natural" linnen so the blacks would match up?

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

if you do search here you will find many different opinions about steel mastery. at first they were fairly small and offered a good product for a great price. many people jumped on the band wagon of deals. me included. my first transaction was great. then they admittedly got in over their heads and ...

just this last week i was expecting an expensive package that was due to arrive on tuesday. the tracking manifest said delivered on front porch. but front porch did not mean MY front porch. it meant the front porch of some random stranger 3 blocks down and 5 streets over. the street names are not ev...

Heath B fraychef

Heath B fraychef

natural.

Heath B fraychef

I do not take points of honour in the SCA. Those that insist on it get an angry fat white man stomping God willing. I also do not wish to insult my opponent by taking his limbs and then giving him mine. I would rather be finished off with honour, so I do the same. agreed. im a mediocre fighter at b...

Heath B fraychef
