The Armour Archive

Looking for someone who can make this style of gauntlet. I would discuss things with them such as ways to make them safe(er) for SCA combat, such as fingers grounding out, padding or what have you.

Bump, talking to one armourer about it, still looking for others who can do it.

Boy howdie. Thats one hell of a outfit. I would love to just have the German doublet and pants alone.

James Gilespie is your man....awe-inspiring gothic gauntlets

http://www.illusionarmoring.com/ has faux fingered that are close..... He has fingered that are not SCA legal.



James Gillespie might be your man.

What about the fingered Milanese gauntlets in the Best of the Hammer? Close enough?

Hm, not sure I have seen these before.

They are similar to this design but the exposed fingertips are covered by two lames and the knuckle plate is not articulated.

The actual pattern is in Best of the Hammer Volume 3: https://www.quietpress.com/Raymonds_Qui ... _Book.html

I made one similar for Vis. Elisa's bow hand when she does combat archery. It has much greater range of motion than most mittens and much more protection than most fingered gauntlets. Since it was so unusual I was expecting the marshals to have a hissy at wars but instead they have just drooled over it and asked how to make them for their wives. Notice that I said that I made one not one pair though. I have done the paper pattern for my pair but.....

This is the best picture that I have of Vis. Elisa's (I changed the cuff to brig to match her kit but the fingers are the important part):

Randy... Talk to dane.. he has some idea's.
