WTT/WTS Riveted maille
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:05 pm
Hello fellow archivers!
I am getting closer to offering riveted maille as a regular product and I thought that I would see if there was any interest in trading for my maille. Alternatively you could secure a spot on my production queue at a lower price before I figure out just how much work this all is and my prices go up
. So I guess this is a combination trade request and breaking my production queue open for riveted maille.
Now about the maille: I am in the process of securing a supply of 9.5mm ID rings so that will be the only size currently available. They come with the blackened finish common to other available maille, but I hope to offer them in a brighter finish in the future soon as I raise the funds for the cleaning tools. Order now and help me brighten my maille!
Timeframe: The timeframe will depend on where you would be on the production queue combined with other factors. These factors include the fact that maille only comes in one variety; time consuming. Riveted maille even more so. Also, I have a regular day job and go to school part time so my production time gets eaten up by life occasionally. I will always give you a time estimate and keep you informed of your commisions progress. I'm in front of a computer for 9 hours a day so keeping you informed is really easy.
References: If you want to ask former customers about me I would direct you to 2Shires, Lloyd, or UberFist as recent customers. I'm also currently working on a commission for Magmaforge.
Money and stuff: The only money I would need from you right now is enough to cover materials. The rest you can pay any time prior to your maille shipping out. However I am ordering all the materials at once so even if you are at the bottom of the queue I need the funds for materials so I can make your item when I work down to it. For trades I will still need the funds for your materials.
Available maille products trade/sale value:
Aventails starting at $340.00
Coifs starting at $325.00
Fauld/Brayette $10.50 per inch of waist size 15" hem length
Standards - $5.00 per inch of collar size
Voiders - When I finish my test piece I'll know
Tailoring/Repairs/Alterations $0.10 per ring
Anything you don't see on the list but are interested in? Just ask. (Edit - I am not making shirts at this time.)
(Edited to add picture)
Here's a picture of my riveting on an ongoing project. Note these rings are the ready to rivet rings from Forth Armoury, the ones I have now are not this shiny. They are blackened with (what smells like) an oil based process. Same riveting just darker rings.
