Period patterns' Military garments no. 2 has a "lentner" in it. To me this looks pretty close to the surcote (aketon, jupon, whatever) on the black prince's effigy, and the repro hanging up over his tomb. I like it. Sir John Chandos wore a surcote that was short in the front, but long in the back. T...

Alcy has the right of it. I've never seen illustrations of the chains going through a hauberk though. The illustrations I've seen the chains are attached to the body armour, and if a hauberk was worn it was underneath the body armour.

Assume about a 45 lb draw on the bow in question, and infinite amount of space for the arrow to do it's thing. -------------...

The most important tip I learned about leather work: NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER make a single cut on your leather until you have a workable and reliable pattern for what you want to make.. Fool around with the pattern on paper, or card stock, or poster board first. You'll be happy you did!
