Has anyone here made a proper buff coat? If so, what were your sources for leather and what pattern did you use?

Medieval Tailors Assistant

Good Condition, no rips, tears or missing pages.

$30 and I will cover shipping in CONUS

Since there is a 99.9% chance these are Soviet refurbs (being from Big 5), there is a very slim chance they would bear any Finn issue markings.

Guys...I am sorry for the mix-up here. I edited the post day before yesterday to reflect that the sword has been sold. There must have been a hiccup in the server.

Sorry, but it has been sold.

Sha-ul, I am not sure if this is based on an existing piece or if it is just made in the style.

Flittie,

It seems pretty straight forward to me and IMHO it can be done with minimal tooling and skill set. If you can cut cloth to make a doublet, you should have no problems whatsoever cutting 16 to 18 gauge steel and fitting it to this helmet.

I am not familiar with SCA specs on these helmets. But I found this page a few weeks back, while searching for photos of morions.

I hope this will give you a better idea how easy it would be to modify one of these helmets.
