Slap a little armour on that and the next thing we know you'll show up at an SCA war fighting in it.

Thanks for sharing the pictures - good job.

m This is a crosspost concerning armour. I am still trying to get some sort of response about adding what I have to the Pattern Archive but no one will answer PMs at all.

WvK - I think that I would call it garment tanned (heavy) rather than garment weight leather. I picture something like 8oz elk, bison, or other strong, soft, stretchy leather. Although just another tertiary source, Landskencht Soldier 1486-1560 describes it as: "Strong leather doublets with tas...

What about the burgonet at bokalo's? And does anyone have any of his helm's? I like Bokalo and hang out there at some wars.

Kerry Pratt - I have relayed your greetings to Their Highnesses; maybe they will join us here on AA.

All tourney companies look good but some Tennens are harder opponents that others.

I am trying a new thread to see if someone has a collection of these "legendary" stories about the adventures of the Knights of the Hare.

Google just isn't coming through on this one.

Karl Helweg

m m m (clever barrier) Please stress setting standards, publishing them, and sticking to them. A good MC/herald is critical. That was a very strange double post. Maybe if you don't mind contacting the Grail they would repost all of their many pictures(?) I hadn't noticed that they had taken them down.
