Great to hear, and by the way, I will be refunding some of your shipping back to you. I will send the buckles in a 1st class envelope and save a few dollars.

I will buy back the shield gauntlet and will buy the Stonekeep cuisses if he falls through. What do you want for the pair?

Due to a shipping module rework, I haven't been receiving orders, due to folks passing on the site, since it wasn't working. We still are giving away gift certificates at the end of the month for everyone making a purchase from us. The odds are very good at the moment for the folks that have made a ...

Hopefully the shipping module is repaired, it seems to be working. Sorry for the confusion and aggravation.

Vitus,

I would like the Medieval Horse and Equipment and Tournaments books to help your leather fund. Send me the total and your paypal addy or address and I will get you some money out.

Thanks

Yeah, let's see the boots, preferably being worn by the person they were made for. I'm with GunnarUlfson on this one!!

Vitus, We pick up our white leather wherever we can find it. We use a chrome tanned strap leather for belts which is a 10/11 ounce leather dyed white on the front. We also use a 12 ounce bridle leather that is dyed white front and back. Both these make a very nice belt, it is thicker than most belt ...

VikingLeather

Dyeing white leather is more like, painting white leather.

Vitus, are you just wanting a side to make lots of belts, or can you use a few belts for your projects?

I have some, but not a side to spare.

So far the list is short, but distinquished. We are still going to award 2 each $75 gift certificates, plus give the Archive $50 this month. Please browse our website and if you see something you want, email us and we will send you a shipping quote along with a paypal invoice. The shipping module is...

Sad to say that my shipping module is still down. Not any luck with the fixes for the USPS shipping module for my OScommerce site. Have got some folks on it, but they are baffled as well. I may be moving to FEDEX and completely go away from USPS. There is no reason why the site shouldn't be talking ...

The nailed or welted soled shoes are available with vibram soles. The turnshoe styles are not.

Also, these are available in all normal colors.

Frank

VikingLeather

Yep, we don't make these, but are a reseller for Westland in the US. I have been thinking about starting the cobbler trade though.

You might want to take a look at Tod's site for shoes as well.

Welcome and have fun.

Yeah, I don't know what I was doing wrong, I have had all sorts of IT problems over the past week, it is just my curse, i suppose.

Frank

I spoke with Westland this evening and the shoes will be made available in the colored leathers. We will take special orders for one more day to include the 2 new 13th Century designs.

Frank

VikingLeather

I did that, but it didn't take, let me try again.

Okay, what am I doing wrong? Tell me how to get the pics to show up on here. I am hitting the image button on the post, then placing the pic url, then hitting the image button again, but it just doesn't work for me. Tell me what I am doing wrong plz.

Ironbadger put a knife up for auction a few weeks ago and I thought I would bid and if lucky enough to win it, it would be a Christmas present to myself. Being a craftsman myself, I always look for good looking items a fellow craftsperson does and collect some of those for myself. When I opened up t...

Thanks, you're alot of help,

Here are a few more pics of the 13th Century Shoes to show a little more detail. http://www.vikingleathercrafts.com/catalog/images/13C%20Toe%20View.JPG http://www.vikingleathercrafts.com/catalog/images/13C%20Side%20View.JPG http://www.vikingleathercrafts.com/catalog/images/13C%203-4View%20Sole.JPG

Yep, I thought I would wave some dollars in front of him and persuade him to make these in black and brown.

While we are on the subject, which to stock the most of, vibram soles or no vibram soles. I know, stock them both, but who votes for what to start with?

Frank

VikingLeather

We plan on ordering and stocking some of the 13th Century shoes this time, now that we see a prototype. I will check with him on colors, which would be the best to stock would you think? Natural, Black, and Brown? At this time, looks like the natural is the only color available, but I might be able ...

We can make you some splinted cuisses for under the $120.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but since USPS changed all their information, I have to recode all the USPS information for the shopping cart. This may take a little bit for me to figure it all out. If you would like to make a purchase, PM or email me at sales@vikingleathercrafts.com with your paypal e...

Oscad, I have been trying to educate myself on the gambesons while reading through the older threads and feedback on the originals. My website will be stocking the unpadded versions to begin with. These have been tried and are a very good weight gambeson at a very competitive price. Once we have the...

VikingLeather

Thanks for the feedback Miscreant and I am glad you like the shoes. I kept a pair for myself as well. I will also pass the feedback along about the heel stiffener. I believe the smell you are smelling is the cement used on the soles. The soles are glued then nailed. It is a bit potent when the first...

Hello James, I had only one gambeson that was my prototype that I had ordered and was selling. We are getting together an order to fill in that void on the site. It will be about a month before they are in stock. We are offering them now if you want to get in on an initial order of $115 per gambeson...

Go ahead and buy a whole side, see if I care,

Good luck with your goal Pike, weight control has eluded me for a number of years. I have quite a bit invested in this gut of mine. On to the gambesons, All I have at the moment is the chest sizes. Small 38" Medium 40" Large 46" XL 52" XXL 54" XXXL 58" and a custom XXXX...

Magnus,

I can send you a belt blank if you don't want to purchase an entire side for the one belt.

Just give us a shout.

In speaking with Westland Crafts, the batting material is in fact a 70% Cotton and 30% Polyester fill. This type fill keeps the price down for the gambesons to a reasonable level. For most purposes, this mix will work. The gambeson is made of 100% cotton with this 70/30 fill. I feel this is close en...
