The Armour Archive

Yeah, what Murdock said...

You shave your thoroughbred? John Only in the winter... When I was the joust director at the Bristol Renaissance Faire, I was convinced to buy a thoroughbred to use in the show. I rode him a couple of times in practice and then passed him off to Gruber (who loved him for some, undefinable reason). ...

Lloyd

...guys who late in life, bought these really snazzy thoroughbred jousting horses and VERY shiny armor? Thoroughbred jousting horses?? I wouldn't be caught dead jousting on a thoroughbred. Of course if I jousted on a thoroughbred, it'd -probably- kill me . They're psycho, dontcha know... not terrib...

Lloyd

Beathan, my friend, I really hope that you meant to title this thread, "Latest Works of A/C" and not Last Works. I have a LOT more armour that I plan on buying from you!

Lloyd

I'd much rather have one that says, "Brothers in Arms"

and when are you planning on buying one of my Jouster Ts???

I'll give you a call soon, Little Brother.

Lloyd

I've been buying from Beathan for a couple of years now and have never heard of him selling on Ebay. All of his armour is custom sized to the buyer, not off the peg. I agree that you are probably thinking of Armstreet. As for contacting Beathan, try PMing here on the Archive. I know that his email s...

Lloyd

This guy often has wolf pelts priced from $50 (fur slippage) to over $200 (good pelts)

I haven't bought from him but put him on my Ebay favorite list.

Lloyd

John "Shark" Perry makes horse armour. Shoot me a pm and I'll give you his email.

Hey Gwen, Headwear - Great idea. Some pilleus (pillbox) hats would be great! While I think the idea of kid's clothes is great, the downside to it (and the reason I doubt that we would ever buy anything for Sarah) is that they grow out of them too fast. I expect my Bockstein tunic to last me years - ...

Lloyd

Don't forget that Jeff and I are medieval dress up people too, and all of our bases are covered by what we offer (except for Napoleonic, because Jeff really, really wants to be a Hussar...but that's another story) Oh, great Jeff has been looking at Rod's site again...will this garb war never cease?...

Lloyd

OK, so we've got requests for Anglo Saxon (as opposed to Viking) and Coptic woven to shape tunics (are those linen or cotton?). Gwen Wool (summer and winter weight, please!) and/or linen. Wow, it is May already and haven't run a single joust pass...I don't miss it, really, I don't...not at all..nuh...

Lloyd

Gwen,

Just remember - Romano-British Coptic Tunics....(hey, I had to get as far away from Joust centuries that I could

)

Lloyd

One of the main "small details" is the acquisition of either "dolphin" or "horsehead" bronze buckles, belt tips, and "propeller" belt fittings. A little goes a long way in making your kit more historically accurate. I just wish that Raymond would do more 5th century Romano-British items, however, Me...

Lloyd

Hi Keval, Many people on the Archive are extremely reluctant to do business with an "unknown" armourer, especially from Eastern Europe. This is because of a couple of unscrupulous individuals that took large orders for armour, took the money, and never delievered the armour. Thus, making it harder f...

Lloyd

AAOMK Sold!

I know someone out there is just dying to get a copy of TOMAR?!!

And just to spur it on - TOMAR - $50 + shipping!!

Lloyd

Stop it, Gwen! You can't show me pics like that yet, I don't think I'll be able to handle them until next year! Boy, now I am REALLY glad I sold all of my joust armour (well, I do have my 13th century stuff...no, no, must stay retired, must stay retired). Seriously, the pics looked great. I know tha...

Hey Christian,

I second that on the kids clothes!

Hint strongly to Nicole and Greg that some nice coptic tunics (i.e. 5th century Romano-Briton) would be a great addition to the line

I still need to get with you on the German joust manuals....

Lloyd

Just gotta get you in the weight room when you get up here

Look under arming clothes. They have a very fine looking pair of padded hose that could be altered, if nothing else. David Teague could give you the lowdown on ordering from them and their quality.

Lloyd

Ah, you discovered my secret! That is Peter Johnson's, the swordmaster extraordinare for Albion, LH group. I enjoy the music so much that I open the page and then minimize the page. But, then again, the pages are great! Here is a Russian group that looks great: m When I look at them, I realize how f...

It is less expensive than the CAS Iberia model:

But, I agree the maille is wrong and it was dated to the mid-9th century, for a migration period helm, Mercenary Tailor has a nice one.

Once again, Beathan is the MAN!

Received my buckles and fittings yesterday and they totally ROCK.

Solid, heavy, and very clean, I was really impressed.

Now I just gotta get him to do a bunch of sub-roman buckles for my 5th century LH group!

Lloyd

I have a pair of green, size 11 Revival 14th Century Riding Boots up for sale. They have only been worn about 4 times, however, the bottom-most buckle on the left boot came off when the leather strap that it is attached with broke (I have it and will include it - I have been told by a cobbler that i...

I owned this ax, you really can't find a better reproduction.

Hey Matt, if you have three of the mild steel round bosses and you take plastic, I want them.

Just let me know.

Lloyd

Beathan is continually having problems with his service provider, which I think has to do with it being located in the Ukraine. Believe me, Beathan would let all of us know if he was going out of business. He is one armourer that I have ALWAYS found to be truthful, honest, upfront, and dependable. (...
