nice, too bad you'll set farbie stuff (like your kit) all over it to distract from it hehehehejk

Wolf

By harness I include the sallet etc, hence 'part of', but yes indeed it is a standalone protective garment. I am a jack fan and want to see more in use in WOTR, but honest linen has given way to showy metal, all vanity. AMEN. http://www.replications.com/greys/Image%20Gallery/2006/MTA/Full/PICT0089....

Wolf

never heard of this group. have to do some more checking thanks. but looking over their jacks, i dont think they are very thick. they look more like an arming doublet than a full multi-layered jack. i know i've run into lotsa people in england that call whe usa thinks of an arming doublet as an armi...

Wolf

Wolf

Wolf

Wolf

Wolf

wow jeff, we all gonna be sitting like royalty at paston? hehehhe

Wolf

eh yes and no. english armour is complicated being that there isnt any to be found. but plenty of effigies to show it. english is more like italian export but it has some flair on teh arms and legs like german. can you take some pics of your gear 1 piece at a time? i cant see the pauldorns nor the f...

Wolf

also depends on the time period.

13? hmmm wouldnt she be found a suiter by now in later time periods i think.

a great book for you to read with her is

Growing up in medieval london by barbara a. hanawalt

also check into

women in the middle ages by Frances & Joseph Giles

Wolf

why dont u carry the stuff anymore? didnt they flake on you? i cant remember.

all i remember is i wanted a pole axe and then BAM u stopped carring them

Wolf

girls.... how old are we talking about here? makes a difference if you were considered a child or of marring age

Wolf

umm thats not jamesb's suit. heheh its jeffj's suit. it wouldnt even fit james's pinky toe

Wolf

the center strap that you mention would put it at an italian export or english breastplate. your breast is most definitely german.

what armour books do you have availible. so we can look at the same pictures? theres not much but 1 suit in that towton book you mentioned

Wolf

ya i'm sure... and 9 months later did you ahve a new camper
