i'm not in sca or anything. this is just for personal kit.

Wolf

will there be a food/drink vender? or should we plan to bring our own goodies.

Wolf

should i line it with another layer of linen? or leave it a single layer of linen and roll/stitch the edges?

Wolf

dang, thats cool looking. must not make another kit, must not must not

Wolf

actually they are longer than that. they come down mid calf if not longer. they are split too. I've seen many illustrations with this style breeches being worn where the wearer has the bottoms rolled and tied up above the knee

Wolf

Here is the soft kit for my late 12th/ early 13th century hospitaller. I have just a few rivets to put into the shield and then everything should be done for the 1206 statute. If it isn't storming with ice tomorrow, I will put on the kit with armour etc and take a picture.

whatya think?

Wolf

Wolf

Hal, do u have any more of these helmet kits? i need something say 1180 AD. top, sides and front, no neck plate. not for sca

Wolf

There are quite a few contemporary pics - if you know where to look. The Aberdeen Bestiary - English about 1200 - has two illustrations with them in - see the Bonnacon and the Tiger links. Then there is the Hortus Deliciarum produced in Alsace, on what is now the French-German border in the late 12...

Wolf

hal, how much for that helm?

Wolf
