Oh - should I go through Sir Omarad since he is contact with them often?

Livia Tasia

I'm with Cillene at Dirk and Arrow. They made mine and I get so many compliments on it. Just absolutely fantastic work. Great customer service. They have a customer for life in me.

Patrick -

I think it was a great topic. I learned a lot about what to do, so I'm grateful you brought it up.

Livia Tasia

Great interview!

I will contact them and see what they have to say. Thanks!!

Livia Tasia

LOL!

There are more and more early personas all the time and it's really hard to find ways to historically garb ourselves. And not only do you have the SCA as possible customers but all the Legio's and many other groups.

Livia Tasia

You guys are funny!

So are they considering a women's shirt?

Livia Tasia

Early Roman/Greek for both women's and men's. Especially interested in the Roman soldier breeches and fighting tunic.

This link shows information but not really how to make the dresses.

Livia Tasia

You have really nice items. It's too bad you don't do early period.

Livia Tasia

Thank you Markus. After reading this thread I've realized just how important it is to honor your opponent whether you know them or not.

Livia Tasia

Gavin how would one know what might cause offense? As it goes with the discussion because the OP seemed offended by the shield banging. Maybe not offended rather questioning it. What if I placed my hilt to my heart and bowed my head? That way I'm not pointing or making a possible mistake in my salute?

Livia Tasia

Wow, I've learned a lot in this thread. How as a Roman I should salute and to make sure I let my opponent know that I do or do not have a thrusting tip.

Livia Tasia

Ah well never mind on that. I'll figure out how to make one or have someone make one.

Would a regular bandana work in a pinch?

Livia Tasia

I see the guys around here in videos tap their helms with their sword.

I'm coming off a five year injury absence too. When I was practicing we did helm taps. I like the idea of a bow though. I think I will do that instead when I get back to practice.

Livia Tasia

My doc thinks it's hysterical. Some people (not my doc) get uncomfortable when you call them breasts or boobies. Chestical units made it easy for folks.

Livia Tasia

I've noticed most of tha arming caps I've found are out of stock. Must be popular!

Livia Tasia

LOL- that is true Ingvarr. I hadn't thought of that. It sounds like other options have been tried.

My helm is blued so I was told I have to be very careful at what other substances I put on it. Not sure if WD40 would affect it?

Livia Tasia

Thank you!

It's too bad their sizing doesn't take into consideration the different chestical units of women.

But I think I can make it work out.

Livia Tasia

I'm not putting a sticker on it. No way. I'd go find someone to do one on one work or grab my beat up helm that I started with. In fact I'd probably be better off not using the fancy helm for wars at all. As far as the arm bands couldn't they be placed on your sword arm? Then your shield wouldn't be...

Livia Tasia

Hey Guys - I thought I read somewhere about sizing issues? I can't find the thread now though. Was there a problem with the sizes being smaller or bigger than normal? Or that you need to go one size bigger? I see the sizing on their charts but wasn't sure what your actual experiences have been. If y...

Livia Tasia

I don't want to be vain but I hate the thought of putting duct tape on purpose on my brand new helm. Sword scars are fine but purposely... yikes.

I like the arm band or arm string or arm something a lot.

Livia Tasia

Ordered my shield!!! What a really nice lady. She helped me through the process of picking all the right stuff for the shield and thankfully Sir Arnsbjorn had already picked out the boss and edging I should get. And I should be getting it in about ten days. How cool is that?!!!!!

Livia Tasia

I have heard they have this new invention that should totally remove the need for marking tape. I think they call it Heraldry.... How would you know everyones device? Or do you mean one thing for one side and something else for the other? ETA I see someone already asked that. I guess I might have t...

Livia Tasia

Organized chaos makes sense! I was told that you put tape on your helm and that is how you tell the two sides. Is that correct?

Livia Tasia

Thanks for the reply! Seems like it would be tough with a bunch of dead guys laying on the ground. Not just for the dead guys getting stepped on but the fighters trying to move around them. I was working with one of our fighters last week and learned about taking a knee when a hold was called. It ju...

Livia Tasia

so I've been watching tons of YouTube videos on tourneys and wars. While I'm still not convinced a war would be as fun as one on one it does look interesting. But I was curious about things I see. Like getting hit from behind. Is that acceptable? And it 'appears' like shield punching occurs but I th...

Livia Tasia

I have watched that video so many times!

Livia Tasia

Have you guys seen this video? I'm not sure if it's been posted already, I couldn't find it. I shared it in my blog today but thought you all might get a kick out of it. Shows all the best of our Kingdom and it shows Sir Wrenn's buffet. Love the music that goes with it as well. m I'm not sure who ma...

Livia Tasia

Thanks everyone! So they will put the edging on for me? I was concerned about that part.

I'll be ordering next week!

Livia Tasia

What about female cups? Any insight on those?

Tasia

Livia Tasia

Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by cartrim?

I noticed they ask about spacing for edging - I'm guessing that they don't do that part?

Thanks for the response!

Livia Tasia

Hey guys- Windrose was recommended to me by one of our Knights to get my round shield and I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them? They do all the cool stuff so basically I wouldn't have to do anything (put the canvas on for starters!). Sounds like a fantastic way to get a shield if y...

Livia Tasia

You MUST MUST MUST get one of these. Wow. This is so much more than I expected. The quality is just amazing. It's so sturdy. I didn't realize the wood hanger piece came with it as well. Excellent job on re-creating what I wanted. The fabric is very sturdy. This is simply a must have for everyone to ...

I am from Three MountIns in An Tir but any fighter is a brother/sister.

$50.00 sent. Please pass on my best regards and wishes for a fast recovery!

Livia Tasia

Congrats to the Heir and all the fighters!!

Livia Tasia

Just sent payment for mine to be made. I cannot wait!! These are so beautiful.

Man, I have got to cruise the classifieds A LOT more. I've been missing out.

Oh, and these folks are super quick with responding, so already A++ in the customer service area which is a huge deal to me.
