G63 Gown versus Later gowns
Hi all- The Herjolfsnes Gown #63 is often dated to circa 1350. Can anyone explain to me the functional difference between this garment and turn of the 15th century gowns? I know that slightly later the bag sleeve and dags begin to make a showing, but as we can see on James B's excellent photo essay ...

Tracking numbers now, please. You told me 20 days ago that the shipment was in the UK, and then failed to respond to my request for tracking. From the UK in the past, delivery has taken 3 to 4 days, and it's been 20 and I still don't have a box--and I have people waiting for those shoes and that ga...

Hi Karen- Thanks for the response! That's what I thought as well... The odd thing is that when you do an image search for said manuscript, that is the only image that comes up. When you do a manuscript search using said manuscript number, that images DOESN'T come up! Perhaps I am just being confound...

Spring Steel Globose Breastplate for Sale
Hi All- I've got a brand new, never worn spring steel breastplate with stop rib for sale. As you can see in the picture, it is strapped but the leather has never been punched. It is just a little bit too big for me - my loss, hopefully your gain! I am 5'11", ~190 lbs. I wear a 41R suit coat. Th...

At my first Pennsic we werer tasked to hold a mountain pass. It was very, very, VERY clear that the other side was never going to press for this pass again before time ran out. There were 20 minutes left in the scenario, maybe more. One of the guys in my barony rolled his eyes, laid down on the fiel...

Putting a New Sole on Revival/Westland Shoes
Hi All- I've finally walked through my low boots. I took it to the local cobbler and they wanted $85 to put a new sole on them, which I find silly since I can buy a new pair at retail for less than that, not to mention wholesale direct from Westland. All the same, these boots are in good shape other...

However, you can get some odd looks from folk when mowing the lawn in a full hauberk and chausses.... Many years ago, before I had made my own, I borrowed a knee length hauberk and barrel helm to use in a class demo. After the demo I put it on and walked through my neighborhood to the local element...

While playing at 30 Year, I was very impressed with Syr Blackhand's tennis ball launching crossbows and bow. While the projectiles (an unmodified tennis ball) don't LOOK like a bolt or arrow, their trajectory was very much like them - flat trajectory, hit with authority, didn't sting too badly when...

Total-
$160 plus shipping.
Paypal only. PM me for details.
Think there may be some kind of typo here. Usually 20+20=40, not 160.
Per cop.
($20 cop + $20 edging) * (2 knees + 2 elbows) = $160

Conal- Can your jupon fit over your arm harness? They're very nice arms, so it's sort of a shame to conceal them. If you're shooting for sort of a Black Prince look you might go with a wife beater cut to your surcoat, which would be over the body harness. You could also go with the continental look...

We ran the tourney at Midrealm Coronation in this manner. Only one person displayed any distaste. Recently? Or last year? Did anybody *prefer* this method? Recently - last weekend (5/1/2010).
