I'm only going to say this once. Janos is a LARGE man. Just the legs go from my groin to 2" above my ankle with the demi greave. I thought the greaves themselves were shovel style they were so big! The good news is the gauntlets and corazzina fit perfectly. The only bad news is the gorget needs to b...

Guys don't miss out on these hauberks. I have one of his haubergeons and think it's the cat's meow, adding another layer of protection and authenticity to my kit.

Janos, considering that box of armour weighs more than half of what my Wife does, plus her very bad back (car accident) I'll give her the break. =) I have to get my hair cut after work, no more long haired hippy freak for me, gotta get with the new IT mentality and wear the shirt and tie as well!

There is a 60lb package at my front door now. My Wife cannot carry it up the stairs... I'm stuck at work!

The horror! My kit is here and I cannot get to it for another three hours!

Janos, Thanks!

Thanks once again Adam.

I's still love to see you do a nice pair of 15th century gauntlets. I know your standing on gauntlets but I would very much like to see your work in something that too many people simply ignore and wear crap.

GET RID OF ALL THE DAMN POP UPS!

It looks like great armour but I really cannot stand looking at it when at least 4 things prompt me to install them on my system when I am browsing...

Thank god I'm running Windows Server 2003 so I can easily ignore the stuff on future visits to the site.

Very funny Sasuke.

After spending $2000 the past month on armour (mostly stuff you made!) and still owing $400, I find my funds rather limited...

Although, if doing so opens up more space in your queue... =)

You know, I've never seen or participated in a Pas D'Armes before but have heard many good things about it. Too many to let this opportunity pass when it arises here in good ol' Stonemarche. It sounds like just the right flavour of enough of the classic tourney to be most interesting. Is there any p...

It's my opinion that if you have been scheduled to do a custom order and it's a rush that too bad for the person who cancels. You went way out of your way to fit that person into your schedule.

Find me a kettle helm without the bar grill and is still SCA legal.


Everyone and their brother fights with bascinets. Kettle helms were FAR more common. I wanted to do something different.
