i thought most kingdoms had to thave the grills on the outside and rivetted. maybe i am mistaken

Wolf

anyone have that link or a copy of what leather oz. equals what mm or fraction of an inch?

i've seemed to have lost mine.

Wolf

what dia are you using for the rondels? how wide/long are teh straight pieces? tring to get some demension on how much they actually cover the arm, not just the fabric of the jack

Wolf

i'd like the rings! email me with info if the others fall thru

Wolf

depends on your group. for SCA i'd say yes. non gal voiders attached it to a nice arming coat, would look stunning. but for more period anal LH groups it might not be. our group recently said no to butted for 15thc. rivetted is too cheaply availible right now for the use of non period butted. its yo...

not sure your going to find much. there are some depictions of "archers knees" just sitting there with no upper or lower defences. and yet there are some paintings where it looks like rivets on fabric. but that being said, i dont really know hehehe. ask chef, he'd prob be able to tell you

Wolf

Wolf

in an early 16th artwork Knight Death and the Devil, the vambracers have disapeared with the use of a long cuff of the guantlet that is pointed to the couter. also the spaulders lead right into the couter becomeing the spaulder and rerebracer in one.

Wolf

clang armoury sells nice rivet sets

Wolf

being tha mail was the primary defense and expensive at that, ive never heard it as jewelry

its fine for straight cuts, but anything with a curve would be a pain in the butt

Leather guage needed
