Re: Appearance - Fighting footwear

Well I have been doing them for some trades here lately. But right now I'm just about out of leather. If someone is willing to front some leather I would be willing to make a pair or two for the leftover hide. :)

It's always easier bartering. :)

Re: Appearance - Fighting footwear

Easiest shoes to cover IMHO. And if done right they look almost exactly like real turn shoes. After I get some more leather I'm going to start working on another low top pair.

Re: Appearance - Fighting footwear

These are super easy to do, and the sole is soft enough that you can stitch directly through them. Oil/dye them and you are good to go...sorry i only have pics of them pre dye and oil. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/jdreadrocker/184905_1583193701058_1272183665_31261678_4603281_n.jpg http://i...

Awesome kits here. I still have a lot to do to get mine to where i want it, but i'm well on my way to getting there. :)
I must say the Rus kit of Greenshield's is a major inspiration of mine. one of these days i'm going to catch up to him. ;)

Pics of fingergauntlets and how they are attached to gloves.

What i need is some advice on how to sew them to the gloves, how to pad them correctly, and some pics of how they should look whi...

IMHO we should all strive for accuracy but at the same time this is anachronism so a little lenience should be given on all accounts. I mean if we aren't having fun we are doing it wrong. :). So joke, poke a little fun, and enjoy it for what it is. :)

Egg gauntlets?

So i'm bummed that i lost an auction on ebay for a pair and i was wondering if anyone here had a used pair just laying around. I've been pretty interested in these for a while due to their lighter weight and the super protectiveness that i have heard about from some of the locals.
many thanks,

Re: Looking for light fighting gear for my wife...YAY!

Well what are you interested in? I will give just about any leather project a shot. I don't have enough for major armor pieces like breastplates or full legs, but I could possibly make some bazubands, gorgets, half gaunts, Thorvald style full gaunts, and pouches. Maybe some other odd and end pieces.

I have talked to them about the gear she needs. I'm just looking for some trade gear here on the AA to get her started. I ended up losing the bid on the fencing mask. It was on a goodwill auction site and it was practically new. So I'm still on the lookout for one of those.
