Wolf

how would one go about makeing these? i've seen the images etc but are the disc dished at all? or just round discs with a ring onto long plates? i think this would be totally awsome if I put sleeves on my jack instead of opting for the mail underneath

Wolf

also, what happened to your left spaulder? is something missing or is that a fashion? 2500 $ is a great price for that kit. well worth every penny. most people would end up spending that much on crap for a kit. two thumbs up. 50 lbs? thats it? oh man thats great! ------------------ Wolf "Killing is ...

what was the course of mail during the 15th century. i know it was used for aventails, skirts and voiders. but would people be wearing mail just as they did in previous centuries?
