Two questions, good Galfrid:

Any particular reason you chose not to have a strap on your poleyn, behind your knee?

And

On the back of your greaves, why did you choose not to either roll the edge, or add a hook, to keep your demi-greave's strap in place?

Three methods: Method one, get a small square of leather, with two holes punched in the center, for the point to go through. Stitch the leather tab to your arming garment. Benefit of this is, if you change your armour, or decide you want to move the lacing point around, you haven't put any holes in ...

Nosir. The spaulders can strap to either the gorget, or some laces at the top of your shoulders, near your neck. Depends on your setup. Your arms would tie to the laces on the back of the arms. *points to the picture* Those black laces, below the shoulder, there. Though, there are historical referen...

Is this all one, interconnected piece? If so, and the leather upper ends on your upper arm, and not your shoulder, then it is often attached to the back of your tricep. People often will sew a leather tab to the back of the sleeve of a thick arming garment, and run a lace (called a 'point') through ...

Robin Hood hat.

There is another name for it, but its slipped my mind atm. :oops:
Thought it was called an Acorn hat, but I believe that's incorrect.

Wanted one for about a year, now.

What is the difference between ARMA and HEMA/WMA? Besides HEMA not having an online presence, that is.

Fantastic to see this finished! I really like the way you shaped the sheet of the visor to echo the shape of a wolf's head. Great touch, that. Especially with the little flutes on the jowels and brow. And of course, the barring is epic. You really nailed the shape. I admit, having that face stare me...
