My only concern about asking that much for a pair of greaves would be that since they are not required armor bits, people will more readily call them too expensive and simply go without. That reduces your market to those who are interested in looking good, don't mind plastic, and don't already own ...

Doing strictly production armours will allow us to build up stock quickly. We may be able to handle custom sizes in the future,...

That's what I was taught Same thing I was taught as well. I use a 40# bow and I run 45-50# for my arrows.(O Yeah...I ...
