Is it the price? Or is it that Aluminum is just not on anyone's wish list here?

...I say don't help India for they are like a spung, they will soke up all they can get from you and leave you dry!! AB Hammer Well there's irony, eh? Alan, you sent me an email on August 24th saying you were getting back to building my armor, but all my emails since then have gone unanswered. Can ...

Anyone interested? It wasn't quite what I was looking for when I bought it, so I thought I'd see if there was any interest on the AA for it. all the aluminum is butted Mail Full Sleeve Aluminum Hauberk $225 Chausses $ 175 Coifs $40 You pay shipping. ( I have an inside contact at UPS so shipping shou...

Hey, I'm guessing this is probably unrealistic, but if there was any you could get the truck to New Orleans, I'd take at the price you first mentioned...

Im surprised I haven't seen Oaks Armoury on the list.

Sasuke is, without a doubt, is at the top of my list.

Randal Scott

I think a forum (webpage/whatever ) is an excellent idea. It can address armorers that are problematic, as well as armorers that consistantly shine in their craft. And it doesn't have to be all inclusive. IIRC, this thread was started on the non delivery and disappearance of armorers and so the info...

Randal Scott

Hmm... five pictures advertising Oaks Armoury. Hey, out of fifty-five hundred photos, in seven separate shoots in five different locations, count yourself lucky I ONLY posted five!! Randal, do you catch much crap for having a mullet? Watch it, pal, I have a mulletude of 2 and aggressiveness of 10! ...

Randal Scott

In the past I have given the highest praise possible to Sasuke from Oaks Armoury. This is why: Sasuke is the epitome of professionalism-- straightforward, extremely responsive, DELIVERS ON TIME, and has bent over backwards to accomodate me. He is ever the gentleman. He will always have my business. ...

Can anyone recommend someone who sells tabards?

Thanks,

Randal Scott

I highly, highly, suggest contacting Kindra Garnett of Kearas Designs: http://kearasdesigns.5thage.com/ The quality is excellent, she was extremely communicative, and (becuase I had a sudden deadline)turnaround time was phenomenal. I give her work the highest recommendation possible. ---------------...

Randal Scott

I could not possibly give a higher recommendation than Oaks Armory. I have just recently received the last piece of a full stainless steel suit. I'll post photos pretty soon, but suffice it to say, anyone who has ever dealt with Chris has nothing but the highest regard for his professionism, craftsm...

Randal Scott

Can anyone suggest a good source of finished aluminuim chainmaille chausses and a hauberk? I'm looking for either the finished product, or someone who can make the finished product; I'm definitely NOT looking to make it myself. Thanks for your assistance, ------------------ Randal Scott The Duelists...

Why Goatskin? Are you looking for leather with hair?

Randal Scott

Has anyone heard from CourtJester? Has anyone received and maille ordered through him? How did all that go? He was supposed to call me half a dozen times, never did, and I haven't even heard from him via email anymore either. can anyone suggest alternative sources for chainmaille similiar to what Co...

Randal Scott

Just an FYI: there's also Keara's designs (http://kearasdesigns.5thage.com/)

Kindra was exceptional: extremely prompt, very receptive to my needs, and the gambeson fits perfectly.

I highly reccommend Kindra's work.

CourtJester,

I dropped you a few emails but haven't heard back from you. I have some custom chainmail orders I'd like to make. Is that still going on?

Thanks

I wanted to take a quick moment to relate my experience/opinion of Sasuke/Oaks Armory. I could not possibly have a better experience in dealing with any armorer, at any time, at any place, than I have had with Sasuke.(and if you know my experiences, that says a lot) I ordered a full suit of stainles...

Can anyone recommend a website (or other resource) that shows a number of authentic medieval flags?

Alan, I don't know how else to try to communicate with you. I email you, but never hear back from you. Posting on the board seems to be the only way to. I am desperate to get a hold of the armor I ordered from you TWO years ago. I will take whatever parts and pieces are finished at this point. Witho...

As some of you may know, I've had difficulty receiving armor I've ordered, and I'm under the gun on a project here, so I thought I'd inquire about purchasing armor, preferably Stainless, from any source, new or used. Any armor will work if it's the right size and make. Also, if anyone in the Souther...
