Hopefully we have everything taken care of. Our IT guys think it was only aimed at an email to all our clients, as has been the case with other sites recently. We are looking in to better protection. Anyone have any information on OS Commerce sites and this sort of thing? Any info would be appreciat...

Thanks for the heads up folks. Sorry for the email. Hopefully we have it taken care of. I think I have a bot running in the background somewhere. I have run all the stuff I have, spybot, malwarebytes, AVG, but didn't come up with anything. Thinking about just formatting the hard drive to remove anyt...

Thanks for the emails folks. We seem to be just another one of the many getting hit. They just sent an email out to my entire customer list. No credit card info is kept, as we do all of that through paypal. It is just aggravation. Hopefully everyone is so used to seeing this sort of thing, that they...

Drogo,

Thank you for the order, these will be in today's mail. As an FYI, we also offer quantity discounts. It helps a little, for 5 pairs or more.

DSCN2241.JPG Here are a couple of pics of the pieces I cut out tonight. The pics aren't very good. The sizes are 2 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall, rounded or pointed bottoms. I am going to have a die made for the rounded bottom to add in punches for the holes. If anyone is interested in these, give...

We have had 2 emails from him since they came back from Germany. I have tried for 2 weeks to reach him with no luck.

We have several pairs of 13th and 14th Century shoes in stock. We are running low on Viking shoes.

The cookie cutter die would work with just about any size, you just have to make sure to weld some supports, or make it heavy enough to withstand multiple blows in all the different corners if you are going to hit it with a hammer. We use a large hydraulic press in the shop to cut out some of our pa...

Thanks, I will try to contact Alan. I am toying with cutting out the large hinges out of stainless myself for this project. I have found a supplier for brass fittings from one of the Indian companies, but don't know how accurate it is yet, or if I will even go down that route, still looking. With as...

I am mainly looking for the hinges for the shoulders in stainless or at least a white brass or regular steel as long as they are silver colored. I would also like to see what else is available. Anyone have some links to who sells them?

Bump to the top.

Just as a reminder, we will be out of town for a few days. The site will be open, but we won't be shipping anything until we return. Thanks and have a great weekend.

We may have some extra elbows in stainless we could part with as well. What size fellow are you?

Frank

VikingLeather

I will be making a call to them tonight to discuss problems with the last order. Once I am satisfied, we will be making another order to restock. We are running low on the viking shoes. Email us with what you might be looking at and it can be added to the order.

We are taking a short holiday for the family during spring break and will be out of the shop next week. We may still have email access and the site will be open, but orders will not be filled until we open the shop back up. Just an FYI. We will follow up with a "we are back" post, but want...

We started making our first armor in 1985. We've had our ups and downs, and I went through a divorce myself about 4 years ago. It really screws with you for awhile. We closed the store for awhile, and are now rebuilding.

We are still here too.

Frank

Thanks for the review. You also were very easy to work with and gave us your measurements quickly. Thanks again and we are glad you are pleased with your new armor. Now don't get it scuffed up, it's too pretty!!

JT's paypal addy is the same as his regular email: jt@armourarchive.org

Send him some money for the support if you want, that is the usual way we do it.

Jackie, have you got a banner ready? I think it has to be around 235 X 35 and no more than 10KB.

The edgers are different sizes for the different thicknesses, as you well expected. For my own use, I use a size 3 for 7/8, 8/9, 9/10 ounce leathers. You might find it easier to use a size 2 on the fronts of the leather and the 3 on the backs. The size 1 is pretty much useless unless you want to tak...

VikingLeather

The leather shoes and boots we carry are by no means combat boots. The leather is about a 3 ounce leather and is a soft leather on the colored leathers. The natural leather is a 3/4 ounce leather and is a bit more rigid. As far as ankle support, the Viking 3 Toggle boot has as suggested in the title...

I would like to thank everyone that took the time to post on this thread. I count our business very lucky indeed to have a review as good as this one.

Sir Tristan, We have a 2" belt in stock, dyed red, finished front and back for $24.95. The belt is 88" long if you need it that long. We can furnish the brass ring, or have one of Thorthor's nice brass buckles that we can discount to you for the package deal. We would be honored to be the ...

Gotcha covered and cheaper than Tandy. Give me a shout, PM, call and we will talk about it.

What quantities are you looking for? What thicknesses are you looking for?

Thank you for the great reviews. It is nice to be well thought of. It also tells me to not get on anyone's bad side, it could be really bad just as quickly,

We ordered an initial order, but are still waiting on them. With the time delays and space we have at present, we are more inclined to not carry the gambesons and stick with the leather products.

Thanks for the plug, and sorry we can't help at this point.

And before anyone else says it--A Leather Lorica?? It has been awhile since I made my last one. I used to fight in a Lorica and loved it.

LOL, I have done that before. Not on an entire side though. That's a good one. Now I won't feel so bad when I do it again. Have a good one Pitbull.

I actually have a pair of size 15's in a black viking toggle boot that someone ordered and didn't take. They have the regular welted ( nailed ) sole.

Wanna take these off my hands, they are the same price, $49.95
But mostly, I will have to special order the 15's for you sled guys.

Frank

Halbrust, How wide are your feet? E, EE, EEE? I am a 13E and the 13's with the welted soles do fine. If you have a bit wider foot, there will be some overlap. This last order from Westland, I ordered several pairs of the wider shoes for folks on special order. The shoes in the dyed leathers are a bi...
