Matts webpage is about the best on the web for building segs. However if you are building these for you movie shoot it would be more authentic to use maile, and the earlier Kalkriese pattern of seg.

Cheap maile would be your best alternative honestly.

Just to throw out this little tidbit. When I was in the Landesmuseum in Zurich a year ago, there was a 16th cent style kettle hat on display that had a huge gash in the side above the brim. This gash was at least 4 to 5 inches long and approximately 3/4 of an inch wide. So for those who believe that...

Speaking of bullets not pentrating targes. There is a localyokel here who shows up at most of the local 18th cent events, and rondyvoos (spelled this way on purpose) with his very fantasy Highlander impression. Anyway a good friend of mine has known this guy for years. He called him up and asked him...

Original bosses I have studied tend to be from 3 to 5 inches in depth.

I think this would open a market to the customers who want something more authentic, yet protective also.

Peder,

Its might be the fact that the SCA is more available to some people.

The SCA definately has a wider reach than many LH groups out there.

Also there is the ability to change impressions on a event to event basis.

Thats just my view on it.
