Many thanks Gaston.

Nice to find a fellow Burgundian, even if you are a rich snob. :D


I like the different colour knees... I wonder if they were plated?

Thanks Kalus, its good to be back. Since my "persona" is Burgundy, the Germanic influences would have very much existed... And yes, I'm most assuredly portraying a less well to do... Mayhap a bit earlier than 1380... maybe more 1360-ish. Once I get all my kit, if I find I really like the h...

Is there any particular art or monument you are using as a reference? No, I'm using a conglomeration of art and monuments dated 1360-1380 as a basis, but the last thing I want to do is "copy" any said monument. After all the folks that have monunments and such were typically filthy rich a...

Under the mail.

Working that one out now.

I have a VERY nice one from Klaus, but its silk, and more of a dress type than something I want to wear under armour.

When Rhiannon returns from Pennsic, she will be working on a linen/cotton one for me.

No greaves yet. Will have fully cased greaves to match the legs when I can afford them and Maxim can do them for me.


The armour has not been delivered yet, so no pictures with it on me as of yet.

This is my old kit. Sasuke did it for me (I bought the Corizzina from someone else, Sasuke helped me fit the rest of the kit for me), the helm is one of WMA's first (if not THE first) kettle helms.

I've seen dozens of different type of designs of hitaiganemaki. Most are simply a few plates, held together with chain armour, ...

Folks, Need some help, I'm looking for a decent gambeson/aketon to wear with my late 14th century kit. I have a wonderful Porupoint of Charles de Blois in silk and linen, but really don't want to risk this one as it was too nice to wear under my armour. I would like something a bit more form fitting...
