Trotman still has the European Arms and Armour through 7 centuries by Laking. Less than 25 copies at 375 pounds I believe. Around 700 us to get it on your doorstep.

I can't wait for mine to get here :-)

I think that the problem lies in a consensus at a kingdom level about what the acceptable risk is to the combatant.

Ok.. I am now confused...

I thought that the lentner was an over armour covering styled like a jupon with wasp waist that was helped by having the breastplate underneath. Then a thin jupon/gambeson underneath that.

or do I need to hit the books again?

Hey Templar Bob,

I thought that the Jupon went on under the breastplate but over the chain and that the lentner went over everything. with BIG sleeves at the shoulder and elbows but tightening down at the mid forearm.
