I finishd a CoP with a heavy canvas outside in December..I have only been to 2 practices and 2 tourneys since I finished it...I need t...

Well, then..How early are you looking at? That would be a starting question...Cause alot of what you have would not have been worn in the early period, by this I mean 1300 to say 1320....Aillettes would have been worn on the shoulder points and a simple elbow ,some leather vambraces.

16 is fine, but you might find it to be a little heavy. Especially if you have many overlapping plates it also might be a little bulky where the plates overlap. I'm sure it shouldn't be too much of a problem though. But if you have some 14 I would use that instead. OK...You would use 14 WHY??? That...
