I need to find my buddy an armor mentor (fitting and using)

Post by freiman the minstrel »

Gentles,

I have a buddy (SCA) that is doing 14th Century. I do seventh century. The gear is really different.

He has bought a bunch of first and second rate armor from well regarded armorers. It's good rated gear.

But they don't quite fit right yet. The legs fit like Pajamas, the arms are sliding down, and the breastplate (which is gorgeous) just plain don't fit yet.

He needs somebody to give him good advice on how to make his new gear fit.

He lives in Ft Wayne, Indiana.

Are you available to help a relative newbie?

He needs to contact Talbot, Kenrick Wulfe or drive a few hours and meet with Old bear, all occasionally present here on the archive, all of whom are experts in 14 c and all of whom have shops.

What he said (though I would hardly say I am an expert). You are more than welcome to give him my contact info.
