No matter how appropriate the statement may be?

My face thrusts are of the "trying to knock your head off your body" variety.

Never had a complaint.

Nice. Just one actual bid? Madness! I have seen this helm IRL and it is just gorgeous. FWIW, I instantly thought it was a Windrose, who would not sell such a helm for less than $800. This helm is hundreds of years before my period, but I refuse to see it sell for less than $500. Soo.... $500. Someon...

Whoever is "in the know" on this, I'd appreciate it if you keep me informed.

I'm slowly but surely building a 14th mafia kit, and I'd like to be in the loop.

I've never understood why somebody with a storefront didn't just buy everything Matt makes, and then just resell it for like $300 more...

Where do you see, "doesn't need covering"? The question was: "How long do you estimate it would take to make/buy/gather a complete set of armor, if there was an appearance requirement?" ooops, it was several thousands of dollars...... several..... How long do you estimate it woul...

A cheap hockey chest (with back) with the shoulders cut off, and a lacrosse rib guard are the cheapest torso armour you can buy ready to wear off the shelf.

Cheaper if you've got a playitagain sports near you.

How much do they weigh?

You expected something different, perhaps magical, to happen?

Wrong forum for that...

The rest of us? No, no, no.

You mean, "me and Gorm".

Not, "the rest of us."

Its ok for you to be wrong about this Maeryk. I don't hold it against you.

Personally, I think you're a fine, upstanding citizen. Regardless of your personal beliefs about lammellar armour.

Broadway

Ok, you didn't say japanese, but you implied it. In fact, I'm fairly certain that you sent psychic messages to me that stressed the fact that you were talking about japanese armour.

In fact, I'm totally certain of it.

So there.

No, I didn't.

Hey, just calling it like I see it. Just cause you have this self decieving illusion of what you are doing doesn't mean I can't point it out. If he did, what are you doing wearing it? Yes you are.

SCA Heavy, shield foot forward.

Rapier... sword foot forward... unless I'm fighting sword and daggar/buckler... then the daggar/buckler foot is forward.

Maybe I just got a bad shirt.

You're not making tools any longer either?

Aluminum riveted does not hold up very well at all to SCA combat. Rings flew every time I fought in mine. It just isn't durable enough.

Just a heads up.
