Pardon my stupidity? if thought these were clamshell kits. Are this finger gauntlet kits instead? I'd looked back at pictures on here and they certainly looked like clamshell/mitten gauntlets.zalbad wrote:I hope these do well for yah maybe some clamshell kits in the future?

Re: To wear a hauberk under plate or not, that is the questi
Caius, the pair in pair of plates is pair as in latin par, meaning something in a grouping that is alike or similar. There could be two or ten as long as they are equal or like each other. I tend to think it simply means garment of many plates. RPM Once again the day is saved. http://xkcd.com/1010/

Re: To wear a hauberk under plate or not, that is the questi
Same as for a "pair of plates" being a single coat of plates, or a pair of pants. Perhaps the paunces are made in two halves, rather than a solid skirt with a slit? To me, a pair of plates sounds like a breast and back plate, but I'm not 100% when this is, so backplates may not have been common yet...

I question the thrusty tips. Do we really need so much 'progressive compression' (squish)? I mean...we wail on each other with skinny bats.
